Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future

內容簡介

內容簡介 《紐約時報》暢銷書，《金融時報》與《週日泰晤士報》年度選書 入圍《金融時報》與施羅德年度商業書獎短名單了解今日中國必讀之作：來自不可或缺的專家之聲，對中國劇烈進步的第一手精彩記述。近十年來，丹．王一直在觀察中國動盪且令人震驚的成長。這個國家建設了高聳的橋樑、閃亮的鐵路和散布各地的工廠，以創紀錄的速度改善經濟成果。但快速的變革也在整個社會中激起了陣痛的漣漪。中國之所以成長如此迅速，部分原因在於它在美國擅長的遊戲——資本主義——中擊敗了美國，並利用了廣大人口永不疲倦的能量。在這裡，王將政治和經濟分析與新聞報導相結合，構成了一個理解中國的挑釁性新框架——這個框架也能幫助我們更清晰地看見美國。中國是一個工程師國家，不懈地進行大規模建設；而美國則轉型為一個律師社會，阻礙了每一次變革的嘗試，無論好壞。隨著美中關係緊張且充滿不確定性，且可怕衝突的潛在可能性隱約顯現，王提供了一種思考這兩個超級大國的創新方式。《飆速發展》（Breakneck）揭示了每個國家都指向了對方更好的道路。他主張，如果美國人能生活在一個不只由律師治理的社會，而中國公民能生活在一個重視個人自由的國家，這個世界將會變得多麼美好。「對中國令人眩目的崛起及其日益深重的病態進行了啟發性的描述。」—— 克里斯．米勒（Chris Miller，《晶片戰爭》作者）「今年出版關於中國最好的書籍之一。」——《泰晤士報》The New York Times bestseller, Financial Times and Sunday Times Book of the YearShortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the YearThe book we need to understand China today: a riveting, first-hand account of its seismic progress from an indispensable expert voiceFor close to a decade, Dan Wang has been observing China’s tumultuous and astounding growth. The state has constructed towering bridges, gleaming railways and sprawling factories to improve economic outcomes in record time. But rapid change has also sent ripples of pain throughout society.China has grown so quickly in part by beating America at its own game: capitalism and harnessing the restless energy of a vast population. Here Wang blends political and economic analysis with reportage into a provocative new framework for understanding China – one that helps us see America more clearly, too. Whereas China is an engineering state, relentlessly building big, the United States has transformed into a lawyerly society, stalling every attempt to make change, both good and bad.As relations between the US and China are tense and uncertain and the potential for dreadful conflict looms, Wang offers an inventive new way of thinking about the two superpowers. Breakneck reveals that each country points towards a better path for the other. How much better the world would be, he argues, if Americans could live in a society not only governed by lawyers, and Chinese citizens could live with a state that values their individual liberties.‘An illuminating account of China’s dizzying rise and its deepening pathologies’ Chris Miller'One of the best books published on China this year' The Times
