东亚的“四人帮”，即香港、新加坡、韩国和台湾，近年来被誉为拉丁美洲发展的典范。已经尝试为拉丁美洲国家吸取教训。鉴于东亚国家在国内生产总值增长、工业产出和制成品出口、就业、收入分配、通货膨胀和偿债问题等方面的卓越经济表现，人们试图从中吸取教训并不令人惊讶。本文的论点是，所得出的许多教训都是错误的教训，因为它们是基于一些关于东亚NIC的神话。在下一节中，简要讨论了拉丁美洲为效仿东亚NIC而建议的主要政策。在第三节中，我们考虑了一些认为东亚国家的经验对拉丁美洲无关紧要的论点。在文件的主要部分(第4节)，第2节确定的政策受到严格审查，以表明它们不符合东亚经验的现实。最后，结束语部分审议了拉丁美洲是否有其他可供借鉴的经验。
The East Asian "Gang of Four', Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan, have in recent years been held up as a model of development for Latin America. Attempts have been made to draw lessons for the Latin American countries. In view of the superior economic performance of the East Asian countries, particularly in the 1980s, in terms of growth of GDP, industrial output and manufactured exports, employment, income distribution, inflation and debt servicing problems, it is not surprising that attempts have been made to draw such lessons. The argument of this paper is that many of the lessons which have been drawn are false lessons, because they have been based on a number of myths concerning the East Asian NICs. In the next section, the main policies which have been recommended in Latin America in order to emulate the East Asian NICs are briefly discussed. In section 3 some arguments which suggest that the experience of the East Asian NICs is irrelevant for Latin America are considered. In the main part of the paper (section 4), the policies identified in section 2 are subject to critical scrutiny to show that they do not correspond to the reality of the East Asian experience. Finally, the concluding section considers whether there are any alternative lessons to be drawn for Latin America.
