Capitalism and Its Critics

內容簡介

內容簡介 《Publishers Weekly》年度十大好書、《The Washington Post》年度最佳圖書。收錄全新增訂終章。長久以來，資本主義一直被視為推動當代重大政治、經濟與社會動盪的核心力量。在這部視野宏闊、層次斑斕的資本主義史中，《紐約客》作家John Cassidy採取了大膽而新穎的角度：透過「批判者的眼睛」來重新觀看全球資本主義。從英國盧德派（Luddites）、二十世紀初德國與俄國的共產主義者，到拉丁美洲的依附理論學派（dependistas）、1970年代的「家務勞動薪資」國際運動（Wages for Housework），再到當代的「去成長」（degrowth）運動，這部引人入勝的敘事橫跨全球，既描寫眾所周知的重要人物，也聚焦於許多鮮少被提及、卻深刻影響時代的人物與思想。本書融合細膩的人物傳記、廣闊的歷史視角，以及對經濟理論生動易讀的探索，勾勒出一部龐大的思想史，也讓我們重新理解當代最迫切問題的深層根源——包括日益擴大的貧富不均、生態危機、科技轉型，以及再度興起的威權政治。「《紐約客》資深作者John Cassidy是當今世界最重要的經濟記者之一……本書極具魅力。他講述十八世紀以來最具影響力的資本主義批判者故事，而這同時也成為理解資本主義本身——這台不斷重塑世界的巨獸——最精彩的方法之一。」——馬丁沃夫 《金融時報》「《資本主義與它的批判者》最大的樂趣之一，在於它對歷史反轉的敏銳感知……這是一本聰明人的夏日讀物。Cassidy 在二十八章節奏明快、嚴謹卻充滿人物魅力的篇章中，不只解釋馬克思、亞當．斯密、大衛．李嘉圖與傅利曼的經濟理論，也帶領讀者認識許多鮮少被注意的重要人物。」—— 史都華．傑佛瑞《每日電訊報》「這是一部橫跨數百年的經濟史，描寫被某些人奉為神聖的資本主義，以及一路與之對抗的批判者……資訊密度驚人、毫無術語障礙，也是對一套愈發難以維繫的經濟體制所提出的有力質疑。」——《科克斯評論》星級評論Named a Top 10 Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly and a Best Book of the Year by The Washington PostNow with an updated final chapterCapitalism has long been understood as a driving force behind the biggest political, economic, and social dislocations of our time. But in this sweeping, kaleidoscopic history of the economic system that has shaped our world, the New Yorker writer John Cassidy adopts a bold new approach: he examines global capitalism through the eyes of its critics. From the English Luddites to early-twentieth-century communists in Germany and Russia, Latin American dependistas, the international Wages for Housework campaign of the 1970s, and the modern degrowth movement, this absorbing narrative traverses the globe. It visits with familiar names, but also focuses on many lesser-known figures whose impact was nonetheless undeniable.Blending rich biography, panoramic history, and lively exploration of economic theories, Capitalism and Its Critics tells an expansive story that illuminates the deep roots of many of the most urgent issues we face today, from widening inequality and the ecological crisis to technological transformation and resurgent authoritarian politics.

各界推薦

各界推薦 “John Cassidy, a British-American staff writer at the New Yorker, is one of the world’s leading economic journalists . . . [Capitalism and Its Critics is] fascinating . . . Cassidy tells the stories of some of capitalism’s most interesting and influential critics since the eighteenth century. This turns out also to be an illuminating way to tell the story of capitalism itself, the juggernaut that has continually reshaped our world... Well-told and well-researched stories.” ―Martin Wolf, Financial Times“One of the joys of Capitalism and Its Critics, John Cassidy’s unexpectedly lively romp through the two-and-a-half-century history of capitalism, is its fine sense for dramatic reversals . . . The intelligent beach read of the summer . . . Over twenty-eight punchy, rigorous yet engagingly peopled chapters, Cassidy not only explains the economic theories of Marx, Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Milton Friedman . . . but introduces us to a fabulous cast of lesser-known characters.” ―Stuart Jeffries, The Telegraph“A sweeping economic history of the to-some-sacrosanct doctrine of capitalism and those arrayed against it over the years . . . Dense with information, free of jargon, and a powerful argument against an increasinglyunsustainable economic system.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
