From world-renowned economist Paul Collier, a candid diagnosis of the failures of capitalism and a pragmatic and realistic vision for how we can repair it.
Deep new rifts are tearing apart the fabric of the United States and other Western societies: thriving cities versus rural counties, the highly skilled elite versus the less educated, wealthy versus developing countries. As these divides deepen, we have lost the sense of ethical obligation to others that was crucial to the rise of post-war social democracy. So far these rifts have been answered only by the revivalist ideologies of populism and socialism, leading to the seismic upheavals of Trump, Brexit, and the return of the far-right in Germany. We have heard many critiques of capitalism but no one has laid out a realistic way to fix it, until now.
In a passionate and polemical book, celebrated economist Paul Collier outlines brilliantly original and ethical ways of healing these rifts—economic, social and cultural—with the cool head of pragmatism, rather than the fervor of ideological revivalism. He reveals how he has personally lived across these three divides, moving from working-class Sheffield to hyper-competitive Oxford, and working between Britain and Africa, and acknowledges some of the failings of his profession.
Drawing on his own solutions as well as ideas from some of the world’s most distinguished social scientists, he shows us how to save capitalism from itself—and free ourselves from the intellectual baggage of the twentieth century.

評分##分析推理很有意思,整體來說接近柏剋式的保守主義。
評分##資本主義世界兩極分化越加嚴重,小鎮和大城市的衝突,低教育者和精英的衝突,第一世界和第三世界的衝突。Collier提齣從傢庭,公司,國傢和全球的長遠角度來考慮,用道德來幫助弱勢群體,增加共識,減少分歧。
評分##Not an entry-level book for readers who have little knowledge about social science and economy. Some of its ideas are really hard to follow, and personally I don’t believe this book has anything to do with its title, It’s more like a portrait of current conundrums related to western society, and how ppl can get them right.
評分##(1)切中要害的提齣瞭問題,但是解決方案介紹的過於草率。(2)作者顯然是李光耀的支持者,提到的主要政策建議跟新加坡的政策基本一緻,但是適用到大國的可行性沒提到。(3)提齣的問題裏,中國除瞭政治兩極化以外全都沒拉下,作者也把中國也定義為資本主義
