Absztrakt:

A tanulmány megkísérli megkérdőjelezni a Joseph Stiglitz és Bruce Greenwald A tanuló társadalom megteremtése (Creating a Learning Society) című könyvében szereplő főbb szakpolitikai javaslatok gyakorlati hasznát. Pontosabban a fejlett nyugati országokhoz felzárkózni igyekvő államok szemszögéből vizsgálja meg a közel 700 oldalas tudományos munkát. A szerző véleménye szerint Stiglitz és Greenwald a „tanulás” fogalmát olyan tág értelemben használja, hogy magyarázó tényezőként, illetve objektíven mérhető mutatóként értékelhetetlenné válik. Ugyanilyen fontos, hogy egy ennyire érték-tartalommal bíró, teljes mértékben pozitív kifejezéssel, mint a „tanulás”, a szerzők azt a hamis képzetet keltik az olvasóban, hogy a felzárkózás könnyű, és mindenki nyer vele. A történelem azonban bebizonyította, hogy ez korántsem egyszerű feladat. Az elemzés bemutatja egy kevésbé ismert magyar közgazdász, Jánossy Ferenc (1914–1997) modelljét mint az endogén gazdasági növekedés egy meggyőzőbb magyarázatát.
