For over a decade now, the reigning consensus has held that the combination of free markets and democracy would transform the third world and sweep away the ethnic hatred and religious zealotry associated with underdevelopment. In this astute, original, and surprising investigation of the true impact of globalization, Yale Law School professor Amy Chua explains why many developing countries are in fact consumed by ethnic violence after adopting free market democracy.
Chua shows how in non-Western countries around the globe, free markets have concentrated starkly disproportionate wealth in the hands of a resented ethnic minority. These “market-dominant minorities” – Chinese in Southeast Asia, Croatians in the former Yugoslavia, whites in Latin America and South Africa, Indians in East Africa, Lebanese in West Africa, Jews in post-communist Russia – become objects of violent hatred. At the same time, democracy empowers the impoverished majority, unleashing ethnic demagoguery, confiscation, and sometimes genocidal revenge. She also argues that the United States has become the world’s most visible market-dominant minority, a fact that helps explain the rising tide of anti-Americanism around the world. Chua is a friend of globalization, but she urges us to find ways to spread its benefits and curb its most destructive aspects.

评分Economics, politics and humanism combined
评分观点很好!但作者写得太啰嗦了一点
评分自由市场的双刃剑也许只有Amy Chua这样的背景才能看得更透着一些。
评分少数族裔控制经济命脉实在是市场经济的致命缺陷啊。。。。。。
一本好书。发展中国家的路怎么走?绝对不能简单照搬美国所推行的民主和市场经济--书中详细分析了族群,经济类型不同的国家照搬的结果。事实上,“美国梦”和“美国制度”仅仅适合于美国,所幸的是,中国的领导人们早就意识到了这一点。 书中写到: 如今西方国家推行的资本主...
评分这本书是“虎妈”蔡美儿另外一本畅销作,是2003年出版的,但是放在当今的世界政治格局来看,非常有借鉴意义,她在书里阐述的核心思想是具有前瞻性的,今天的世界大体政治格局她在2003之前就看到了。 这本书主要说的是什么呢? 它主要说的是,在全球化的大背景下为什么美国在全...
评分《虎妈战歌(Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother)》掀起的热潮渐渐淡去,作者Amy Chua也不再是Trendy Name了。令我惊奇的是她耶鲁大学教授的身份很快被发掘,却很少有人指出她也是畅销书《World On Fire》的作者。我是在2007年读的,本来早失了再谈的打算,但总觉得目前对她的讨论...
评分輸出自由民主市場,這是西方國家進行文明傳播與推廣的一種慣常方式。然而這種方法並不是萬能良方,由於各國的國情不同,這種文明輸出激化了很多發展中國家的矛盾。在《起火的世界》一書中作者蔡愛眉從種族仇恨這個角度入手剖析了該種發展方式所造成的動蕩,並提出了自己的見解...
评分看了货币战争,简直是震撼了。和别的读友一起交流了一下,结果他们建议我再去读一下这个起火的世界,是对货币战争这本书介绍的西方的经济政策和现状有个更详细的了解。 这本书论点不错,但是作者对自己论点的论述,总有点美国的霸权的态度,太武断。很多例子和说明作者可以引用...
