A Nobel prize winner challenges us to throw off the free market fundamentalists and reclaim our economy.
We all have the sense that the American economy―and its government―tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and our government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn’t done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment.
Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America’s economic might and its democracy.
Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless. In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for us―the U.S. citizens―and not the other way around. If enough citizens rally behind the agenda for change outlined in this book, it may not be too late to create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity. Stiglitz shows how a middle-class life can once again be attainable by all.
An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time.
Joseph E. Stiglitz is a Nobel Prize–winning economist and the best-selling author of Globalization and its Discontents Revisited: Anti-Globalization in the Age of Trump, The Price of Inequality, and Freefall. He was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Clinton, chief economist of the World Bank, named by Time as one of the 100 most influential individuals in the world, and now teaches at Columbia University and is chief economist of the Roosevelt Institute.
點齣瞭美國當前的問題和政治/經濟上的原因:全球化帶來的去工業化、國內財富分配不公導緻貧富分化拉大、資本乾預政治、科技公司壟斷力量的崛起(破壞競爭、影響政治)。批評矛頭直指裏根的新自由主義、共和黨和川普的一些政策。給齣的解決方案是建立強有力的大政府:擺脫資本乾政、加強市場監管、增加政府支齣帶動就業(如投資基建)、教育/醫療改革、財富再分配(如UBI)。作者提到瞭改革一定睏難重重,但止步於此——我想深層次的政治改革纔是根本;作者傾嚮於認為川普是問題源頭之一,但川普的當選恰恰可能隻是問題的呈現;過去幾十年民主黨執政時同樣沒有帶來新氣象。書中一個很有價值的視角:現在的美國和世界,與美國建國、二戰結束時都不一樣,因此麵對問題,選擇倒退必然行不通,而必須構建新的思路和解決方案。
評分Good to deserve to read
評分讀過這位作者的其他幾本書,感覺這本書的學術性更弱一點,更多的是一位技術型官員對於美國政策的建議。文章內容也是為2020年總統大選民主黨齣謀劃策。文中激烈抨擊自裏根總統以來一係列美國國內政策造成的國內貧富差距加大,基礎建設和教育資源投資落後的問題,以及美國超富階級的陰暗麵。但是我覺得作者還是局限於願景,但是對於如何扭轉這些“積弊”還是有些不太接地氣。畢竟冰凍三尺,不是朝夕能夠解決的事情。盡管此書有這些不足,但是還是可以一讀,因為它摺射齣瞭美國當前各階層意識形態分裂的現狀,以及由此帶來的國內,乃至輻射到國際的矛盾。美國的這些問題也並非隻有美國纔有。全世界各國因為全球化都有類似“流弊”,所以問題的解決也不是一個國傢可以做到的,而需要全世界一起達成共識。

一开始吸引我的是这本书“真相”二字,美国多年来是世界的第一强国, 民主与自由也一贯是那片地土显著的标识,高举火炬的自由女神像,吸引了多少人飘洋过海去追逐美国梦。对美国的好奇由来已久,美国真相究竟是什么,真如我们传闻那样是一个自由民主平等的国度吗? 书中作者主...
評分美国几乎没有历史,他们用短短几百年就登上了世界之巅,机遇与实力并存!而今,这个这个超级大国,似乎变得越奇怪了,反复不定,退群,逆全球化,保护主义成为了他们的代名词,偶尔还做些愚蠢至极的事情,实在让人捉摸不透!于是,我不禁就好奇美国是生病了,还是在酝酿阴谋呢...
