For over a decade now, the reigning consensus has held that the combination of free markets and democracy would transform the third world and sweep away the ethnic hatred and religious zealotry associated with underdevelopment. In this astute, original, and surprising investigation of the true impact of globalization, Yale Law School professor Amy Chua explains why many developing countries are in fact consumed by ethnic violence after adopting free market democracy.
Chua shows how in non-Western countries around the globe, free markets have concentrated starkly disproportionate wealth in the hands of a resented ethnic minority. These “market-dominant minorities” – Chinese in Southeast Asia, Croatians in the former Yugoslavia, whites in Latin America and South Africa, Indians in East Africa, Lebanese in West Africa, Jews in post-communist Russia – become objects of violent hatred. At the same time, democracy empowers the impoverished majority, unleashing ethnic demagoguery, confiscation, and sometimes genocidal revenge. She also argues that the United States has become the world’s most visible market-dominant minority, a fact that helps explain the rising tide of anti-Americanism around the world. Chua is a friend of globalization, but she urges us to find ways to spread its benefits and curb its most destructive aspects.
这本书是“虎妈”蔡美儿另外一本畅销作,是2003年出版的,但是放在当今的世界政治格局来看,非常有借鉴意义,她在书里阐述的核心思想是具有前瞻性的,今天的世界大体政治格局她在2003之前就看到了。 这本书主要说的是什么呢? 它主要说的是,在全球化的大背景下为什么美国在全...
评分一本有材料,有深度,有观点的力作,讨论了以美国为主的西方国家和组织向发展中国家大力输出自由放任的市场经济和普选制的民主政治(这在发达国家是经过长期曲折发展的,并非一蹴而就,且前者已被抛弃)这一“灵丹妙药”,从而加剧了一些发展中国家(存在主导经济的少数族群)...
评分全球化,民主 - 输出 - 如火如荼 - 是导致在由‘主导性少数群体’控制国民经济的国家里,‘主导性少数群体’控制经济拥有财富,另外的‘多数群体’贫穷的帮凶 - 导致此类国家的暴力事件,内乱,屠杀,战争。 ‘主导性少数群体’特指有民族性属性的群体,如菲律宾华人,印尼华...
评分《虎妈战歌(Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother)》掀起的热潮渐渐淡去,作者Amy Chua也不再是Trendy Name了。令我惊奇的是她耶鲁大学教授的身份很快被发掘,却很少有人指出她也是畅销书《World On Fire》的作者。我是在2007年读的,本来早失了再谈的打算,但总觉得目前对她的讨论...
评分【新书评】 一般而言,语词的确认和概念的推销,背后的主宰无非是“金钱-权力”。然而有趣的是,这本书提供了一个精心构思的命题:金钱+权力之于少数族群-多数族群,并非总是依照一种普世的配对模式:在一些国家,少数族群往往是“外来者”,他们掌握了金钱和市场,却沦为民主...
