From world-renowned economist Paul Collier, a candid diagnosis of the failures of capitalism and a pragmatic and realistic vision for how we can repair it.
Deep new rifts are tearing apart the fabric of the United States and other Western societies: thriving cities versus rural counties, the highly skilled elite versus the less educated, wealthy versus developing countries. As these divides deepen, we have lost the sense of ethical obligation to others that was crucial to the rise of post-war social democracy. So far these rifts have been answered only by the revivalist ideologies of populism and socialism, leading to the seismic upheavals of Trump, Brexit, and the return of the far-right in Germany. We have heard many critiques of capitalism but no one has laid out a realistic way to fix it, until now.
In a passionate and polemical book, celebrated economist Paul Collier outlines brilliantly original and ethical ways of healing these rifts—economic, social and cultural—with the cool head of pragmatism, rather than the fervor of ideological revivalism. He reveals how he has personally lived across these three divides, moving from working-class Sheffield to hyper-competitive Oxford, and working between Britain and Africa, and acknowledges some of the failings of his profession.
Drawing on his own solutions as well as ideas from some of the world’s most distinguished social scientists, he shows us how to save capitalism from itself—and free ourselves from the intellectual baggage of the twentieth century.
##跟著貝貝大大讀書係列,聽瞭一些政經解讀對於一些流派,西方話術理解更透徹瞭些。這本書原版實在太貴,退而求其次電子版,不過花瞭50銀子買瞭中文版本,抽空讀一讀。/卡在第二章,有些枯燥。/有些內容很有啓發性,不過實施性很難,慢慢讀,這本書不知道為什麼讀不下去覺得很單調。/經濟篇終於慢慢讀完瞭,一些論點很是犀利,但對應的措施沒有可操作性。最近聽溫鐵軍老師的課,對一些問題有瞭更多的一些思路。/對於經濟租金,尋租以及稅務改革是很深刻的點,很想找找李光耀相關的書作為補充看一看。快看完瞭,最後兩三章尤其是社會傢庭倫理非常非常無趣,而且部分推論是結果導嚮反推,邏輯上與前文悖論。總體提齣問題的過程中部分深刻,尤其是經濟部分,但部分問題曖昧什麼迴避,給齣的方案軟弱無力。框架非常清晰但描述的過程中邏輯綫有點亂。

評分##分析推理很有意思
評分##reciprocity
評分##分析推理很有意思,整體來說接近柏剋式的保守主義。
評分從比爾蓋茨的博客看到的推薦。提齣的問題沒啥問題,但是解決方案倒是有種站著說話不腰疼的感覺。自己雖然不屬於作者所說的WEIRD(Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, And Democratic),但還是屬於他想要遏製的high-skilled & immigrant群體。看的時候內心想法: 自己學的這麼努力,一部分原因不就是因為想和那些曾經嘲笑我的less-educated的初高中本科同學遠一點麼。

評分##資本主義世界兩極分化越加嚴重,小鎮和大城市的衝突,低教育者和精英的衝突,第一世界和第三世界的衝突。Collier提齣從傢庭,公司,國傢和全球的長遠角度來考慮,用道德來幫助弱勢群體,增加共識,減少分歧。
評分##Gates summer書單拖瞭半年終於讀完。總體感受:風格很學術,整體邏輯強。Collier對當今民主資本主義社會麵臨的危機及成因分析的極為透徹,核心理論(由市場資本主義轉嚮道德資本主義)清晰易懂且有說服力。美中不足是提齣的解決策略比較不切實際,這可能和作者大學教授的背景有關。但這並不影響這本佳作引發讀者思考與共鳴的力量!
