具体描述
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.
用户评价
##跟着贝贝大大读书系列，听了一些政经解读对于一些流派，西方话术理解更透彻了些。这本书原版实在太贵，退而求其次电子版，不过花了50银子买了中文版本，抽空读一读。/卡在第二章，有些枯燥。/有些内容很有启发性，不过实施性很难，慢慢读，这本书不知道为什么读不下去觉得很单调。/经济篇终于慢慢读完了，一些论点很是犀利，但对应的措施没有可操作性。最近听温铁军老师的课，对一些问题有了更多的一些思路。/对于经济租金，寻租以及税务改革是很深刻的点，很想找找李光耀相关的书作为补充看一看。快看完了，最后两三章尤其是社会家庭伦理非常非常无趣，而且部分推论是结果导向反推，逻辑上与前文悖论。总体提出问题的过程中部分深刻，尤其是经济部分，但部分问题暧昧什么回避，给出的方案软弱无力。框架非常清晰但描述的过程中逻辑线有点乱。

评分##Gates summer书单拖了半年终于读完。总体感受：风格很学术，整体逻辑强。Collier对当今民主资本主义社会面临的危机及成因分析的极为透彻，核心理论（由市场资本主义转向道德资本主义）清晰易懂且有说服力。美中不足是提出的解决策略比较不切实际，这可能和作者大学教授的背景有关。但这并不影响这本佳作引发读者思考与共鸣的力量！
评分##（1）切中要害的提出了问题，但是解决方案介绍的过于草率。（2）作者显然是李光耀的支持者，提到的主要政策建议跟新加坡的政策基本一致，但是适用到大国的可行性没提到。（3）提出的问题里，中国除了政治两极化以外全都没拉下，作者也把中国也定义为资本主义
评分从比尔盖茨的博客看到的推荐。提出的问题没啥问题，但是解决方案倒是有种站着说话不腰疼的感觉。自己虽然不属于作者所说的WEIRD（Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, And Democratic），但还是属于他想要遏制的high-skilled & immigrant群体。看的时候内心想法： 自己学的这么努力，一部分原因不就是因为想和那些曾经嘲笑我的less-educated的初高中本科同学远一点么。
评分##we need to leave behind the limitations of ideologies and create policy rooted in pragmatism.
评分##分析推理很有意思，整體來說接近柏克式的保守主義。
