Dambisa Moyo: Is China the new idol for emerging economies?

Prevoditelj: Stjepan Mateljan Recezent: Ivan Stamenković

"Give me liberty or give me death."

"Daj mi slobodu ili mi daj smrt."

When Patrick Henry, the governor of Virginia,

Kad je Patrick Henry, guverner Virginije,

said these words in 1775,

rekao te riječi 1775.,

he could never have imagined

nije nikad mogao zamisliti

just how much they would come to resonate

koliko će one odjekivati

with American generations to come.

kasnijim Američkim generacijama.

At the time, these words were earmarked

U to vrijeme, te su riječi bile izdvojene

and targeted against the British,

i usmjerene protiv Britanaca,

but over the last 200 years, they've come to embody

ali tijekom zadnjih 200 godina, one su počele utjelovljivati

what many Westerners believe,

ono što brojni Zapadnjaci vjeruju,

that freedom is the most cherished value,

da je slobodan najdragocjenija vrijednost,

and that the best systems of politics and economics

te da najbolji politički i ekonomski sustavi

have freedom embedded in them.

imaju u sebe utkani ideju slobode.

Who could blame them?

Tko bi ih mogao kriviti?

Over the past hundred years, the combination

Tijekom zadnjih stotinu godina, kombinacija

of liberal democracy and private capitalism

liberalne demokracije i privatnog kapitalizma

has helped to catapult the United States

je pomogla katapultirati Sjedinjene države

and Western countries

i zapadne zemlje

to new levels of economic development.

do novih razina ekonomskog razvoja.

In the United States over the past hundred years,

U Sjedinjenim državama tijekom zadnjih stotinu godina

incomes have increased 30 times,

prihodi su se povećali 30 puta,

and hundreds of thousands of people

a stotine tisuća ljudi

have been moved out of poverty.

su se makli iz siromaštva.

Meanwhile, American ingenuity and innovation

U međuvremenu, američka je genijalnost i inovativnost

has helped to spur industrialization

pomogla potaknuti industrijalizaciju

and also helped in the creation and the building

te također pomogla u stvaranju i izradi

of things like household appliances

stvari poput kućanskih aparata

such as refrigerators and televisions,

kao frižidera i televizora,

motor vehicles and even the mobile phones in your pockets.

motornih vozila te čak i mobilnih telefona u vašim džepovima.

It's no surprise, then, that even at the depths

Nije čudo, onda, da čak i duboko unutar

of the private capitalism crisis,

krize privatnog kapitalizma,

President Obama said,

predsjednik Obama govori:

"The question before us is not whether the market

"Pitanje pred nama nije je li tržište

is a force for good or ill.

sila dobrog ili lošeg.

Its power to generate wealth and to expand freedom

Njegovoj moći stvaranja bogatstva i širenja slobode

is unmatched."

nema premca."

Thus, there's understandably

Tako, jasno je da postoji

a deep-seated presumption among Westerners

duboko usađena pretpostavka među Zapadnjacima

that the whole world will decide to adopt

da će cijeli svijet odlučiti prigrliti

private capitalism as the model of economic growth,

privatni kapitalizam kao model ekonomskog rasta,

liberal democracy, and will continue

liberalnu demokraciju, te da će nastaviti

to prioritize political rights over economic rights.

držati politička prava nadređena ekonomskim pravima.

However, to many who live in the emerging markets,

Međutim, brojnima koji žive u tržištima u nastajanju

this is an illusion, and even though

to je iluzija, te čak iako je

the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

Opća deklaracija o ljudskim pravima,

which was signed in 1948,

koja je potpisana 1948.,

was unanimously adopted,

bila jednoglasno usvojena,

what it did was to mask a schism

ona je tek prikrila rascjep

that has emerged between developed and developing countries,

koji je nastao između razvijenih zemalja i onih u razvoju,

and the ideological beliefs

te glede ideoloških uvjerenja

between political and economic rights.

između političkih i ekonomskih prava.

This schism has only grown wider.

Taj se rascjep samo širio.

Today, many people who live in the emerging markets,

Danas, brojni ljudi koji žive u tržištima u nastajanju,

where 90 percent of the world's population lives,

gdje živi 90 posto svjetske populacije,

believe that the Western obsession

vjeruje da je Zapadna opsjednutost

with political rights is beside the point,

političkim pravima pucanj u prazno,

and what is actually important

te da je ono što je zbilja važno

is delivering on food, shelter,

kako dostaviti hranu, utočište,

education and healthcare.

obrazovanje i zdravstvenu skrb.

"Give me liberty or give me death"

"Daj mi slobodu ili mi daj smrt."

is all well and good if you can afford it,

je lijepo i krasno ako si to možete priuštti,

but if you're living on less than one dollar a day,

ali ako živite na manje od dolara na dan,

you're far too busy trying to survive

previše ste zaposleni pokušavajući preživjeti

and to provide for your family

i priskrbiti za svoju obitelj

than to spend your time going around

da bi trošili vrijeme idući okolo

trying to proclaim and defend democracy.

pokušavajući proglasiti i obraniti demokraciju.

Now, I know many people in this room

Sad, znam da brojni ljudi u ovoj sobi

and around the world will think,

te oko svijeta misle:

"Well actually, this is hard to grasp,"

"Pa zapravo, ovo je teško dokučiti,"

because private capitalism and liberal democracy

jer se privatni kapitalizam i liberalna demokracija

are held sacrosanct.

drže nepovredivim svetinjama.

But I ask you today, what would you do

Ali pitam vas sad, što biste učinili

if you had to choose?

ako biste morali birati?

What if you had to choose

Što ako biste morali birati

between a roof over your head

između krova nad glavom

and the right to vote?

i glasačkog prava?

Over the last 10 years,

Tijekom zadnjih 10 godina

I've had the privilege to travel to over 60 countries,

imala sam povlasticu putovati u preko 60 zemalja,

many of them in the emerging markets,

brojne unutar tržišta u nastajanju,

in Latin America, Asia,

u Latinskoj Americi, Aziji,

and my own continent of Africa.

te mom vlastitom kontinentu Africi.

I've met with presidents, dissidents,

Sretala sam se sa predsjednicima, disidentima,

policymakers, lawyers, teachers,

stvarateljima politika, odvjetnicima, učiteljima,

doctors and the man on the street,

doktorima i ljudima po ulici,

and through these conversations,

te mi je kroz te razgovore

it's become clear to me

postalo jasno

that many people in the emerging markets

da brojni ljudi iz tržišta u nastajanju

believe that there's actually a split occurring

vjeruju da se zapravo pojavljuje rascjep

between what people believe ideologically

između onog što ljudi ideološki vjeruju

in terms of politics and economics in the West

glede politike i ekonomije na Zapadu

and that which people believe in the rest of the world.

te onog što ljudi vjeruju u ostatku svijeta.

Now, don't get me wrong.

Sad, nemojte me shvatiti krivo.

I'm not saying people in the emerging markets

Ne govorim da ljudi iz tržišta u nastajanju

don't understand democracy,

ne razumiju demokraciju,

nor am I saying that they wouldn't ideally

niti ne govorim da im se idealno

like to pick their presidents or their leaders.

ne bi sviđalo birati svoje predsjednike ili vođe.

Of course they would.

Naravno da bi.

However, I am saying that on balance,

Međutim, govorim da kad se sve svede,

they worry more about

više se brinu

where their living standard improvements are going to come from,

otkud će im doći unapređenja životnog standarda

and how it is their governments can deliver for them,

te kako im ih njihove vlasti mogu dostaviti,

than whether or not the government

nego hoće li ili neće te vlasti

was elected by democracy.

biti izabrane demokratski.

The fact of the matter

Činjenica od značaja

is that this has become a very poignant question

je kako je ovo postalo vrlo pronicljvo pitanje

because there is for the first time in a long time

budući po prvi put nakon dugo vremena postoji

a real challenge to the Western ideological systems

pravi izazov Zapadnim ideološkim sustavima

of politics and economics,

politike i ekonomije,

and this is a system that is embodied by China.

a to je sustav utjelovljen u Kini.

And rather than have private capitalism, they have state capitalism.

Radije nego privatni kapitalizam, imaju državni kapitalizam.

Instead of liberal democracy, they have de-prioritized the democratic system.

Umjesto liberalne demokracije, podredili su demokratsku sustav

And they have also decided to prioritize

te su također odlučili podići

economic rights over political rights.

ekonomska prava iznad političkih.

I put it to you today that it is this system

Prenosim vam danas da je taj sustav

that is embodied by China

koji je utjelovljen u Kini

that is gathering momentum amongst people

koji lovi zamah među ljudima

in the emerging markets as the system to follow,

u tržištima u nastajanju kao sustav koji valja slijediti,

because they believe increasingly

jer sve više vjeruju

that it is the system

kako je to sustav

that will promise the best and fastest improvements

koji im obećava najbolja i najbrža unapređenja

in living standards in the shortest period of time.

životnog standarda u najkraćem vremenskom roku.

If you will indulge me, I will spend a few moments

Ako mi dopustite, potrošit ću nekoliko trenutaka

explaining to you first

objašnjavajući vam prvo

why economically they've come to this belief.

zašto su ekonomski došli do tog uvjerenja.

First of all, it's China's economic performance

Prije svega, to je ekonomska izvedba Kine

over the past 30 years.

tijekom zadnjih 30 godina.

She's been able to produce record economic growth

Bila je u stanju stvoriti rekordan ekonomski rast

and meaningfully move many people out of poverty,

i smisleno izvući puno ljudi iz siromaštva,

specifically putting a meaningful dent in poverty

pogotovo smisleno praveći ulupljenje u siromaštvu

by moving over 300 million people

izvlačenjem preko 300 milijuna ljudi

out of indigence.

iz neimaštine.

It's not just in economics,

Nije riječ samo u ekonomiji,

but it's also in terms of living standards.

već također i u životnom standardu.

We see that in China, 28 percent of people

Vidimo da je u Kini 28 posto ljudi

had secondary school access.

imalo pristup sekundarnoj školi.

Today, it's closer to 82 percent.

Danas, ta je brojka bliža 82 posto.

So in its totality, economic improvement

Tako da je u svojoj cjelokupnosti, ekonomski napredak

has been quite significant.

bio poprilično značajan.

Second, China has been able

Drugo, Kini je bilo moguće

to meaningfully improve its income inequality

smisleno poboljšati razlike u prihodima

without changing the political construct.

bez mijenjanja političke konstrukcije.

Today, the United States and China

Danas, Sjedinjene države i Kina

are the two leading economies in the world.

su dvije vodeće svjetske ekonomije.

They have vastly different political systems

Imaju vrlo različite političke sustave

and different economic systems,

te različite ekonomske sustave,

one with private capitalism,

jedan s privatnim kapitalizmom,

another one broadly with state capitalism.

drugi ugrubo sa državnim kapitalizmom.

However, these two countries

Međutim, ove dvije zemlje

have the identical GINI Coefficient,

imaju identičan GINI koeficijent,

which is a measure of income equality.

koji je mjera jednakosti prihoda.

Perhaps what is more disturbing

Možda ono što je više uznemirujuće

is that China's income equality

je kako je jednakost prihoda u Kini

has been improving in recent times,

bila napredovala u novije vrijeme,

whereas that of the United States

dok se ona Sjedinjenih država

has been declining.

bila smanjivala.

Thirdly, people in the emerging markets

Treće, ljudi u tržištima u nastajanju

look at China's amazing and legendary

gledaju u Kinino zapanjujuće i legendarno

infrastructure rollout.

stvaranje infrastrukture.

This is not just about China

Ovdje nije samo riječ o Kini

building roads and ports and railways

koja gradi ceste i luke i željeznice

in her own country --

u vlastitoj zemlji --

she's been able to build 85,000 kilometers

umjela je sagraditi 85.000 kilometara

of road network in China

cestovne mreže u Kini

and surpass that of the United States --

te prestići ono Sjedinjenih država --

but even if you look to places like Africa,

ali čak i ako gledate mjesta poput Afrike,

China has been able to help tar the distance

Kina je bila u stanju pomoći okatraniti udaljenost

of Cape Town to Cairo,

od Cape Towna do Caira,

which is 9,000 miles,

koja je 9.000 milja,

or three times the distance of New York to California.

ili trostruka udaljenost od New Yorka do Kalifornije.

Now this is something that people can see and point to.

Sad to je nešto što ljudi mogu vidjeti i na što mogu ukazivati.

Perhaps it's no surprise

Možda nije iznenađenje

that in a 2007 Pew survey, when surveyed,

kako su u 2007 Pew pregledu, kad su ispitani,

Africans in 10 countries said

Afrikanci u 10 zemalja rekli

they thought that the Chinese were doing

kako misle da Kinezi rade

amazing things to improve their livelihoods

zapanjujuće stvari kako bi unaprijedili njihove životne uvjete

by wide margins, by as much as 98 percent.

u velikim prednostima, čak do 98 posto.

Finally, China is also providing innovative solutions

Konačno, Kina donosi inovativna rješenja

to age-old social problems that the world faces.

starim društvenim problemima koji more svijet.

If you travel to Mogadishu, Mexico City or Mumbai,

Ako otputujete u Mogadishu, Mexico City ili Mumbai,

you find that dilapidated infrastructure and logistics

vidjet ćete kako trošna infrastruktura i logistika

continue to be a stumbling block

nastavlja biti kamen spoticanja

to the delivery of medicine and healthcare

dostavljanju medicinske i zdravstvene skrbi

in the rural areas.

u ruralna područja.

However, through a network of state-owned enterprises,

Međutim, kroz mrežu poduzeća u državnom vlasništvu,

the Chinese have been able to go into these rural areas,

Kinezi su uspjeli otići u ta ruralna područja,

using their companies

koristeći svoje firme

to help deliver on these healthcare solutions.

kako bi pomogli dostavu tih zdravstvenih rješenja.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's no surprise

Dame i gospodo, nije iznenađenje

that around the world, people are pointing at what China is doing and saying,

kako širom svijeta ljudi pokazuju na to što Kina radi i govore:

"I like that. I want that.

"Sviđa mi se to. Želim to."

I want to be able to do what China's doing.

"Želim biti u mogućnosti da činim ono što Kina čini."

That is the system that seems to work."

"To je sustav za koji se čini kako radi."

I'm here to also tell you

Također sam ovdje da vam kažem

that there are lots of shifts occurring

kako se pojavljuje puno promjena

around what China is doing

oko onog što Kina čini

in the democratic stance.

u stavu prema demokraciji.

In particular, there is growing doubt

Posebno, postoji rastuća sumnja

among people in the emerging markets,

među ljudima tržišta u nastajanju,

when people now believe that democracy

gdje ljudi sad vjeruju kako demokraciju

is no longer to be viewed

više nije potrebno gledati

as a prerequisite for economic growth.

kao preduvjet za ekonomski rast.

In fact, countries like Taiwan, Singapore, Chile,

Zapravo, zemlje poput Taiwana, Singapura, Čilea,

not just China, have shown that actually,

ne samo Kina, su pokazale da zapravo,

it's economic growth that is a prerequisite

ekonomski rast je preduvjet

for democracy.

za demokraciju.

In a recent study, the evidence has shown

U nedavnoj studiji, dokazi su pokazali

that income is the greatest determinant

kako je prihod najveća odrednica

of how long a democracy can last.

koliko dugo demokracija može trajati.

The study found that if your per capita income

Studija je pokazala da ako je vaš prihod po glavi

is about 1,000 dollars a year,

oko 1.000 dolara godišnje,

your democracy will last about eight and a half years.

vaša će demokracija trajati oko osam i pol godina.

If your per capita income is between

Ako je vaš prihod po glavi između

2,000 and 4,000 dollars per year,

2.000 i 4.000 dolara godišnje,

then you're likely to only get 33 years of democracy.

onda je vjerojatno da ćete imati samo 33 godina demokracije.

And only if your per capita income

A samo ako je vaš prihod po glavi

is above 6,000 dollars a year

iznad 6.000 dolara godišnje

will you have democracy come hell or high water.

imati ćete demokraciju bez obzira na sve nedaće.

What this is telling us

Što nam to govori

is that we need to first establish a middle class

jest kako prvo trebamo uspostaviti srednju klasu

that is able to hold the government accountable.

koja je sposobna držati vlast odgovornom.

But perhaps it's also telling us

Ali možda nam također govori

that we should be worried about going

kako bi trebali biti zabrinuti glede putovanja

around the world and shoehorning democracy,

širom svijeta i uvođenja demokracije,

because ultimately we run the risk

stoga što u konačnici riskiramo

of ending up with illiberal democracies,

završetak s neslobodnim demokracijama,

democracies that in some sense

demokracijama koje bi u nekim pogledima

could be worse than the authoritarian governments

mogle biti gore od autoritarnih vlasti

that they seek to replace.

koje žele zamijeniti.

The evidence around illiberal democracies

Dokazi oko neslobodnih demokracija

is quite depressing.

su poprilično depresivni.

Freedom House finds that although 50 percent

Freedom House pronalazi da iako je 50 posto

of the world's countries today are democratic,

svjetskih zemalja danas demokratskih,

70 percent of those countries are illiberal

70 posto tih zemalja su neslobodne

in the sense that people don't have free speech

u smislu da ljudi nemaju slobodu govora

or freedom of movement.

ili slobodu kretanja.

But also, we're finding from Freedom House

Ali također, vidimo u istraživanjima Freedom Housea

in a study that they published last year

u studiji koju su objavili prošle godine

that freedom has been on the decline

da je sloboda bila u opadanju

every year for the past seven years.

svaku godinu u zadnjih sedam godina.

What this says

Što to govori

is that for people like me

je da za ljude poput mene

who care about liberal democracy,

kojima je stalo do liberalne demokracije,

is we've got to find a more sustainable way

moramo naći održiviji način

of ensuring that we have a sustainable form

osiguravanja da imamo održiv oblik

of democracy in a liberal way,

demokracije na liberalan način,

and that has its roots in economics.

a to ima svoje korijene u ekonomiji.

But it also says that as China moves

Ali to također govori kako dok se Kina kreće

toward being the largest economy in the world,

prema poziciji najveće svjetske ekonomije,

something that is expected to happen

nečega što se očekuje da će se dogodit

by experts in 2016,

kažu stručnjaci u 2016.,

that this schism between the political

da će se taj rascjep između političkih

and economic ideologies of the West and the rest

i ekonomskih ideologija Zapada i ostalih

is likely to widen.

vjerojatno proširiti.

What might that world look like?

Na što bi taj svijet mogao nalikovati?

Well, the world could look like

Pa, svijet bi mogao nalikovati

more state involvement and state capitalism;

na više državnog uplitanja i državnog kapitalizma;

greater protectionisms of nation-states;

većeg protekcionizma u nacionalnih država;

but also, as I just pointed out a moment ago,

ali također, kako sam ukazala maloprije,

ever-declining political rights

stalnog pada političkih prava

and individual rights.

i prava pojedinca.

The question that is left for us in general

Pitanje koje je općenito pred nama

is, what then should the West be doing?

jest, što bi onda Zapad trebao činiti?

And I suggest that they have two options.

A ja sugeriram da imaju dvije opcije.

The West can either compete or cooperate.

Zapad se može ili natjecati ili surađivati.

If the West chooses to compete with the Chinese model,

Ako se Zapad odluči natjecati sa Kineskim modelom,

and in effect go around the world

dakle ići oko svijeta

and continue to try and push an agenda

te nastaviti pokušavati progurati agendu

of private capitalism and liberal democracy,

privatnog kapitalizma i liberalne demokracije,

this is basically going against headwinds,

to bi bilo čisto kretanje protiv struje,

but it also would be a natural stance

ali to bi također bio prirodan stav

for the West to take

koji bi Zapad mogao zauzeti

because in many ways it is the antithesis

stoga što je to na puno načina antiteza

of the Chinese model

KIneskog modela

of de-prioritizing democracy, and state capitalism.

podređivanja demokracije, i državnog kapitalizma.

Now the fact of the matter is,

Sad, činjenica jest

if the West decides to compete,

ako se Zapad odluči natjecati,

it will create a wider schism.

to će stvoriti širi rascjep.

The other option is for the West to cooperate,

Druga je mogućnost da Zapad surađuje,

and by cooperating I mean

a pod suradnjom mislim na

giving the emerging market countries the flexibility

davanje tržištima u nastajanju fleksibilnost

to figure out in an organic way

da shvate na organski način

what political and economic system

koji politički i ekonomski sustav

works best for them.

za njih radi najbolje.

Now I'm sure some of you in the room

Sad, sigurna sam da će neki od vas u sobi

will be thinking, well, this is like ceding to China,

razmišljati, dobro, ovo je poput ustupanja mjesta Kini,

and this is a way, in other words,

a ovo je put, drugim riječima,

for the West to take a back seat.

kojim će Zapad završiti na zadnjem sjedištu.

But I put it to you

Ali natuknula bih vam

that if the United States and European countries

da ako Sjedinjene države i Europske zemlje

want to remain globally influential,

žele ostati globalno utjecajne,

they may have to consider cooperating

mogle bi razmisliti o suradnji

in the short term in order to compete,

u kratkom roku da bi se mogli natjecati kasnije,

and by that, they might have to focus

a pod tim, mogli bi se fokusirati

more aggressively on economic outcomes

agresivnije na ekonomske rezultate

to help create the middle class

da pomognu stvoriti srednju klasu

and therefore be able to hold government accountable

i time biti u mogućnosti držati vlast odgovornom

and create the democracies that we really want.

te stvoriti demokracije koje zbilja želimo.

The fact of the matter is that

Činjenica je kako

instead of going around the world

umjesto da ide oko svijeta

and haranguing countries for engaging with China,

i drži govore zemljama radi surađivanja s Kinom,

the West should be encouraging its own businesses

Zapad bi trebao ohrabrivati vlastite tvrtke

to trade and invest in these regions.

da trguju i investiraju u te regije.

Instead of criticizing China for bad behavior,

Umjesto kritiziranja Kine za loše ponašanje,

the West should be showing how it is

Zapad bi trebao pokazivati po čemu je to

that their own system of politics and economics

njihov vlastiti sustav politike i ekonomije

is the superior one.

onaj koji je superioran.

And instead of shoehorning democracy

A umjesto nametanja demokracije

around the world,

širom svijeta,

perhaps the West should take a leaf

možda bi Zapad trebao počitati list

out of its own history book

iz vlastite knjige povijesti

and remember that it takes a lot of patience

te zapamtiti da treba puno strpljenja

in order to develop the models

da bi se razvili modeli

and the systems that you have today.

i sustavi koje imate danas.

Indeed, the Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer

Zbilja, sudac vrhovnog suda Stephen Breyer

reminds us that it took the United States

podsjeća nas da je Sjedinjenim državama trebalo

nearly 170 years

gotovo 170 godina

from the time that the Constitution was written

od vremena kad je Ustav napisan

for there to be equal rights in the United States.

do uspostave jednakih prava u Sjedinjenim državama.

Some people would argue that today

Neki ljudi bi tvrdili da čak ni danas

there is still no equal rights.

još uvijek nema jednakih prava.

In fact, there are groups who would argue

Zapravo, postoje grupe koje bi tvrdile

that they still do not have equal rights under the law.

da još uvijek nemaju jednaka prava pred zakonom.

At its very best,

U svom najboljem svjetlu

the Western model speaks for itself.

Zapadni model govori sam za sebe.

It's the model that put food on the table.

To je model koji donosi hranu u kuću.

It's the refrigerators.

To su frižideri.

It put a man on the moon.

Spustio je čovjeka na Mjesec.

But the fact of the matter is,

Ali činjenica je,

although people back in the day

iako su ljudi ranije

used to point at the Western countries and say,

običavali pokazivati na Zapadne zemlje i govoriti:

"I want that, I like that,"

"Želim to, sviđa mi se to."

there's now a new person in town

u gradu je sada nova osoba

in the form of a country, China.

u obliku zemlje, Kine.

Today, generations are looking at China

Danas, generacije gledaju u Kinu

and saying, "China can produce infrastructure,

i govore: "Kina može proizvesti infrastrukturu,"

China can produce economic growth,

"Kina može proizvesti ekonomski rast,"

and we like that."

"i to nam se sviđa."

Because ultimately, the question before us,

Jer u krajnjoj liniji, pitanje pred nama,

and the question before

i pitanje pred

seven billion people on the planet

sedam milijardi ljudi na planetu

is, how can we create prosperity?

jest, kako možemo stvoriti blagostanje?

People who care and will pivot towards the model

Ljudi kojima je stalo i koji će se okrenuti modelu

of politics and economics

politike i ekonomije

in a very rational way,

na vrlo razuman način,

to those models that will ensure

ka onim modelima koji će osigurati

that they can have better living standards

da mogu imati bolje životne standarde

in the shortest period of time.

u najkraćem vemenskom roku.

As you leave here today,

Dok danas napuštate ovo mjesto,

I would like to leave you

voljela bih napustiti vas

with a very personal message,

s vrlo osobnom porukom,

which is what it is that I believe

koja je ono za što vjerujem

we should be doing as individuals,

da bismo trebali raditi kao pojedinci,

and this is really about being open-minded,

i riječ je zbilja o bivanju otvorenih nazora,

open-minded to the fact that our hopes and dreams

otvorenih za činjenicu da naše nade i snovi

of creating prosperity for people around the world,

o stvaranju blagostanja za ljude širom svijeta,

creating and meaningfully putting a dent in poverty

smislenom pravljenju ulupljenja u siromaštvu

for hundreds of millions of people,

stotina milijuna ljudi,

has to be based in being open-minded,

moraju biti temeljeni na otvorenosti nazora,

because these systems have good things

jer ti sustavi imaju dobre stvari

and they have bad things.

i imaju loše stvari.

Just to illustrate,

Samo da ilustriram,

I went into my annals of myself.

otišla sam u vlastitu prošlost.

That's a picture of me.

Ovo je moja slika.

Awww. (Laughter)

Awww. (Smijeh)

I was born and raised in Zambia in 1969.

Rođena sam i othranjena u Zambiji 1969.

At the time of my birth,

U vrijeme mog rođenja,

blacks were not issued birth certificates,

crncima nisu izdavali rodne listove,

and that law only changed in 1973.

a taj se zakon promijenio tek 1973.

This is an affidavit from the Zambian government.

Ovo je pismena izjava Zambijske vlade.

I bring this to you to tell you that in 40 years,

Prikazujem je da vam kaže kako sam u 40 godina

I've gone from not being recognized as a human being

prešla put od neprepoznavanja kao ljudskog bića

to standing in front of the illustrious TED crowd today

da stajanja ispred slavne ekipe iz TED-a danas

to talk to you about my views.

da bih vam pričala o svojim pogledima.

In this vein, we can increase economic growth.

Na isti način, možemo povećati ekonomski rast.

We can meaningfully put a dent in poverty.

Možemo smisleno napraviti ulupljenje u siromaštvu.

But also, it's going to require

Ali također, biti će potrebno

that we look at our assumptions,

da pregledamo svoje pretpostavke,

assumptions and strictures that we've grown up with

pretpostavke i ograničenosti s kojima smo odrasli

around democracy, around private capitalism,

glede demokracije, glede privatnog kapitalizma,

around what creates economic growth

glede razloga što uzrokuju ekonomski rast

and reduces poverty and creates freedoms.

smanjenje siromaštva i stvaraju slobode.

We might have to tear those books up

Možda bi trebali podrapati te računice

and start to look at other options

te početi gledati na druge mogućnosti

and be open-minded to seek the truth.

i biti otvorenih nazora u potrazi za istinom.

Ultimately, it's about transforming the world

U krajnjoj liniji, riječ je o mijenjanju svijeta

and making it a better place.

i stvaranju od njega boljeg mjesta.

Thank you very much.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)
