建设:投资美国基础设施

English | October 1st, 2024 | ISBN: 1647124964 | 392 pages | True EPUB | 4.84 MB

A bold plan for the United States to regain the lead in infrastructure development through privatization and public-private partnerships America's infrastructure—its essential roads, bridges, ports, airports, power grids, and telecommunications systems—were once the pride of the nation and an example for the world. But now, after years of neglect and oversight, this infrastructure is crumbling and causing catastrophic changes in the US quality of life. Build seeks to explain how American infrastructure collapsed and what can be done to repair it. In a series of colorful, rarely told cases, Build takes readers on a revealing tour behind the scenes of the successes and debacles of key infrastructure projects to show what works, why the United States has failed in recent decades to invest in infrastructure, and how the private sector can help revitalize the sector, spur job growth, and contribute to climate resilience. Sadek Wahba examines the private origins of US infrastructure and the federally funded megaprojects that came after the New Deal, investigating the role the private sector can and should play in building infrastructure. By drawing comparisons with systems in the United Kingdom, France, India, and China, Wahba shows that while privatization and public-private partnerships cannot solve all infrastructure challenges, they are essential for closing funding gaps, overcoming political paralysis, and driving major infrastructure advances. Build will appeal to readers interested in public finance, domestic policy, the role of the federal government, tax policy, and urban affairs.


美国通过私有化和公私合作计划重夺基础设施开发领导地位的雄心壮志 一旦曾是国家的骄傲、世界典范的美国基础设施——其关键的道路、桥梁、港口、机场、电力网格和电信系统如今正因忽视和监管不力而变得破败不堪,正在改变美国人民的生活质量。Build旨在解释为什么美国基础设施会崩溃以及如何修复它。通过讲述一系列色彩斑斓且鲜为人知的关键基础设施项目的成功与失败背后的故事,Build带领读者参观了关键基础设施项目幕后成功的秘密,揭示哪些有效、为何美国在最近几十年未能投资于基础设施建设,以及私营部门如何能够帮助重振行业、促进就业增长,并为气候韧性作出贡献。Sadek Wahba探究了私有化的根源——自新政之后由联邦资金资助的大型项目的私有化进程,研究私营部门可以并应如何在构建基础设施中发挥作用。通过与英国、法国、印度和中国的系统进行对比,Wahba展示了尽管私有化和公私合作计划无法解决所有基础设施挑战,但它们对于填补资金缺口、克服政治瘫痪以及推动重大基础设施进步至关重要。Build将吸引对公共财政、国内政策、联邦政府角色、税收政策及城市事务感兴趣的人。
