In his widely acclaimed book Time to Start Thinking, Financial Times columnist and commentator Edward Luce charted the course of American economic and geopolitical decline, proving to be a prescient voice on our current social and political turmoil.
In The Retreat of Western Liberalism, Luce makes a larger statement about the weakening of western hegemony and the crisis of democratic liberalism - of which Donald Trump and his European counterparts are not the cause, but a symptom. Luce argues that we are on a menacing trajectory brought about by ignorance of what it took to build the West, arrogance towards society's losers, and complacency about our system's durability - attitudes that have been emerging since the fall of the Berlin Wall, treated by the West as an absolute triumph over the East. We cannot move forward without a clear diagnosis of what has gone wrong. Luce contrasts Western democratic and economic ideals, which rest on an assumption of linear progress, with more cyclical views of economic strength - symbolized by the nineteenth-century fall and present-day rise of the Chinese and Indian economies - and with the dawn of a new multipolar age.
Combining on-the-ground reporting with intelligent synthesis of the vast literature already available, Luce offers a detailed projection of the consequences of the Trump administration and a forward-thinking analysis of what those who believe in enlightenment values must do to defend them from the multiple onslaughts they face in the coming years.
今年经济学人和其他杂志的年度推荐。是对于时下2017年的时事快议,文笔很是英伦范,写得酣畅淋漓,册子不厚,几个小时可以翻完,结论有点儿惊悚——预测2020的战争和混乱。我们真是生活在一个转折点的有趣时代。
评分1.各国大城市之间的差异远小于大城市与小城市。2.掌握着未来命运的,是那些被遗忘的人。占领不了华尔街,那就让川普上位。3.人类的文明不是线性的,历史的终结也可能不会是民主。4.现在美国恰恰是最不可能实现美国梦的地方。5.即使Big brother来临,人们早已娱乐至死。
评分文笔流畅,对国际政经局势介绍得比较全面,但流于表面,观点与分析深度不够明晰。和专业时评和论著相比,只能作为业余消遣,不可当真。
评分从Democracy Jounral看到了本书的review.作者的central argument是西方liberal民主的衰落和中产阶级在经济发展中的不受益以及在社会hierarchy中的下陷有着密切的关系。中国经济崛起在全球范围内对西方民主普世价值的挑战也是重要因素。记者的写作优点在于tangible, 实时性很强,但缺点在于逻辑不够严谨,论证也略显浅尝辄止,兴趣点过于繁杂缺乏明晰的论证系统性。总的来说可以一读。
评分我再也不要读政治类的了,因为不管怎么深刻,还是事实的堆砌和对过往的分析。还是读哲学去吧
