The Retreat of Western Liberalism pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.
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.
作者的論點和這一類其他書籍很像——economic inequality到political dissent。但是他的文筆是這一類書裏麵比較好的,連貫性故事性可讀性都非常高。 對此話題感興趣的可以配閤AVeryShortIntroduction:Populism一起讀。i
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。
評分需要一些背景知識和術語的理解纔能讀得更深入些。
