In this book, Lee draws on that wealth of experience and depth of insight to offer his views on today’s world and what it might look like in 20 years. This is no dry geopolitical treatise. Nor is it a thematic account of the twists and turns in global affairs. Instead, in this broad-sweep narrative that takes in America, China, Asia and Europe, he parses their society, probes the psyche of the people and draws his conclusions about their chances for survival and just where they might land in the hierarchy of tomorrow’s balance of power. What makes a society tick? What do its people really believe? Can it adapt?
In spare, unflinching prose that eschews political correctness, he describes a China that remains obsessed with control from the centre on its way to an unstoppable rise; an America that will have to share its pre-eminence despite its never-say-die dynamism; and a Europe that struggles with the challenges of keeping its union intact. His candid and often startling views – on why Japan is closed to foreigners, why the Arab Spring won’t bring one man, one vote to the Middle East, and why preventing global warming is not going to be as fruitful as preparing for it – make this a fresh and gripping read. Lee completes the book by looking into the future of Singapore – his enduring concern – and by offering the reader a glimpse into his personal life and his view of death. The book is interspersed with a Q&A section in each chapter, gleaned from conversations he had with journalists from The Straits Times.

評分我本來是個不大喜歡關注政治、時事新聞、國際關係的人,很感謝這本書,它幫我打開瞭一扇門,讓我又發現瞭一個人生的樂趣點。 這本書給瞭我幾個震撼的地方: 1. 人口對國傢發展的重要性。這是李光耀最擔憂的地方,因為現在的生育率太低,一般隻有1.x,遠遠低於人口替代率2.1。...
評分 評分如果是五年前就發現這本書,或許我對於國際 政治形勢會瞭解的更透徹。 男生大學期間總喜歡關心政治,那時候滿腔激情無處檢索信息,一味地看知乎大V觀點,殊不知真正的超級大V李光耀的觀點都沒注意到,自己信息不通暢!因為疫情更多的關注到閱讀,越讀越發現有些書看的不夠早...

A wise and visionary man.
評分李光耀最後一本書,我覺得還是很坦誠的,不避諱於他各種政治不正確的個人看法。九十高齡的老人還能思路清晰,綜閤全麵的點評各國時事。隻是他把智力水平看的太重,個人覺得智商未見得是那麼有決定性的。
評分very insightful.
評分Every sentence is concrete, concise and cut-to-the-chase. The view indeed comes from one man: it is full of his personal traits.
評分Such a man of wisdom.
