Edward Luce is a graduate from Oxford University in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. He worked as a speech writer for the treasury secretary in the Clinton administration, worked as the South Asia bureau chief for the Financial Times and is based in Washington DC as the Financial Times Washington columnist and commentator.
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.

沒啥新鮮的觀點,真是辜負瞭這個宏偉的標題。
評分1.各國大城市之間的差異遠小於大城市與小城市。2.掌握著未來命運的,是那些被遺忘的人。占領不瞭華爾街,那就讓川普上位。3.人類的文明不是綫性的,曆史的終結也可能不會是民主。4.現在美國恰恰是最不可能實現美國夢的地方。5.即使Big brother來臨,人們早已娛樂至死。
評分今年經濟學人和其他雜誌的年度推薦。是對於時下2017年的時事快議,文筆很是英倫範,寫得酣暢淋灕,冊子不厚,幾個小時可以翻完,結論有點兒驚悚——預測2020的戰爭和混亂。我們真是生活在一個轉摺點的有趣時代。
