The Retreat of Western Liberalism pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.
Problems abound, no clear solution in sight. We do live in interesting times.
评分这本书主要描述了近几年西方民主大倒退的现象,并分析了其后的一些原因,最后给出了一些建议。写得非常理性派,作者对中国的见解和看法也很中肯——很难得!十分推荐对政治和民主话题感兴趣的小伙伴认真读一读~
评分文笔流畅,对国际政经局势介绍得比较全面,但流于表面,观点与分析深度不够明晰。和专业时评和论著相比,只能作为业余消遣,不可当真。
评分Just don't bite off more than you can chew...记者写东西真的不如学者鞭辟入里,前四分之一感觉真的很像论文东拼西凑起来的,太乱了,很多地方都浮于表面,而且主观倾向太强,写的所有东西都以liberalism作为风向标,甚至以这个有毒的lens去看待中国??中间写到的Didier Eribon的故事还不错
评分没啥新鲜的观点,真是辜负了这个宏伟的标题。
The retreat of western liberalism是Edward在特朗普当选、英国退欧等一系列时间后对这个时代发出无奈的叹息。 “愚蠢的人类,你们还是没有从历史里吸取教训!!” (自动脑补作者的内心) 作为2017年6月刚出版的书,书里提到的很多人物和事件现在在搜索引擎上还有跟进的新闻...
