图书描述

What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?

"The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them.

Michael Lewis’s brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it’s not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before terrorists do.

Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it’s better never to really understand those problems. There is upside to ignorance, and downside to knowledge. Knowledge makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for a person who wishes to shrink the world to a worldview.

If there are dangerous fools in this book, there are also heroes, unsung, of course. They are the linchpins of the system―those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running. Michael Lewis finds them, and he asks them what keeps them up at night.

语音书到手，骂川普的，也就这本值得一读。虽然有流水账之嫌，不过，作者呈现的黯淡现实真让理想主义者寒心。嫌内容少的读者有些吹毛求疵，川普去年初就职，作者在一年多时间完成采访撰写，写了三个主要部门的问题，已经很不易了。为叙述风格加一星，显然为了中期选举匆忙完成的。表面上反对川普，实际批判这种造就川普的政治环境和那些无视或无知于政府职能的选民们。即使共和党失去多数地位，风险长期存在，美国的政治气氛和意识形态才是问题症结所在，川普只是开始。

Taking a functional democracy for granted + not understanding the role of government - Lewis为establishment的辩护其实还挺聪明的。重要的点并不是去question大政府本身而是描述一个现状（人民对政府的dependence）以及傻逼能够在这样的现状下如何ruin lives的（unless they supplant that dependency with something else - smartly, which they didn’t). 看了眼豆瓣评论觉得很多人真是读书不带脑。又及，考虑到各种因素我还是去Belarus买块荒地做当代卢梭wannabe吧。 #退出当代生活

And so you might have good reason to pray for a tornado, whether it comes in the shape of swirling winds, or a politician. You imagine the thing doing the damage that you would like to see done, and no more. It’s what you fail to imagine that kills you.

每一个risk的基本阐述逻辑是：**精英在某个部门做出了杰出贡献，某个部门对于整个美国的社会经济发展不可或缺，而Trump团队却对此不够重视。。。

美国政治角力的本质，往往不是驴象之争，而是逐利和逐梦者之争。作者写到农业部的时候开始陷入了一种固定范式：高效部门被架空、优秀团队被罢黜、有益项目被取缔，Trump与Obama和Bush政权相比有诸多不妥。但是循规蹈矩其实未必稳妥，异于前任未必倒退，我反而觉得Trump团队最大的过错在于表象沟通时的傲慢和冷漠。一切问题都会透过沟通暴露，沟通不当，一切便都是问题。读完全书，最精华的论点在DOE一章最后，守序的邪恶与无知是第五类风险的本源，要比大众视野下的混乱善意可怕的多：牺牲长期利益，而试图通过program management填补短期的漏洞，这才是一个政治体制倒退的深层原因。
