邹恒甫为了表扬自己，在博客上公开林毅夫2004年给世界银行写的推荐信。

众所周知，推荐信，都是写好话，写了又怎么样？

但是的但是

林的推荐信，是给世界银行的，邹怎么会有？如果给邹看了，推荐信就大打折扣。

邹把它公布出来，就是违反道德。

而且，一看，林毅夫的英文，那是：差，差，差。

还美国留学生，中国大经济学家，呢。

To the Development Research Group of the World Bank:

I am most delighted to write this reference letter on Dr. Hengfu Zou’s
contribution to modern economics teaching and research in China. Dr. Zou is
a person with vision, devotion, and entrepreneurship. He admirably started
an economics undergraduate program at Wuhan University in 1992 with his own
personal time and funds. His devotion and vision influenced many other
Chinese economists working overseas to contribute their time to teach in
that program. Now Dr. Zou’s undergraduate economics program at Wuhan
University has recognized as the best program in China. The program has
produced hundreds of graduates. Many of them pursue further PhD studies at
top universities in the United States. Some of them have returned to teach
in China after obtaining their PhD and several of them have become prominent
economists in China and the world.

In my view, Dr. Zou has done more than any person or institution in China
and abroad for the building up of modern economics in China. I understand
that capacity building is one of the priority areas of the World Bank’s
programs for the developing countries. The World Bank should be proud of Dr.
Zou’s achievement on economics capacity building in China.

If you would like to know more about Dr. Zou’s contribution to economics
teaching and research in China, please do not hesitate to contact me.

My best regards,

Sincerely yours,

Justin Yifu Lin
