社會向左, 資本向右: 新世代的階級與貧富裂痕, 尋找修復的終極解方

內容簡介

內容簡介 世界知名經濟學家保羅‧高力精闢分析資本主義的困境以專業剖析如何改善及達到務實的願景一股新的力量正在分裂美國和其他西方社會：蓬勃發展的城市和農村小鎮，擁有專業技能的菁英與缺乏教育者，富裕國家與發展中國家。隨著這些分歧的加深，也漸漸令人們對戰後崛起的社會民主失去道德義務。目前為止，這些裂縫只能透過民粹主義和社會主義復興得到回應，也導致川普當選、英國脫離歐盟，和德國重返極右派的懷抱等現象崛起。我們總是聽聞太多對資本主義的批判，但至今仍沒有任何人提出有效的解決方案。透過這本充滿熱情與激烈辯論的作品，知名經濟學家保羅，高力描繪如何以原創及道德的方式來治癒這些裂痕─例如透過經濟、社會和文化，以冷靜的實用主義替代狂熱的復興運動。同時也揭露他親身經歷的三段分歧點，從藍領階層的雪菲爾區搬到競爭激烈的牛津，在英國與非洲兩地間往返工作，並學習承認像他這樣的經濟學家也會有職業上的失敗。他所提出的解決方案借鑒於全球最傑出的社會科學家，向我們展示如何從資本主義中自我解救，藉此擺脫20世紀的智慧包袱。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.
