內容簡介

內容簡介 一個複雜難懂、嚴肅卻又重要的議題,作者融會貫通,透過漫畫,輕易地,淺白地,向讀者分析這個全球經濟的大難題。不要以為與你無關,其實,你正生存在金融危機的世界中。漫畫家Darryl Cunningham重現2008年金融危機的背景與真相。金融危機形成的緣由,可以追溯到四0年代的俄裔美籍哲學家Ayn Rand個人主義的概念、理性的利己主義,前美聯儲主席Alan Greenspan、茶黨都信奉她的理論,相信人們透過理性選擇自己的價值觀和行動,個人有絕對權利只為自己的利益而活,無須為他人而犧牲自己的利益、雖然也不可強迫他人為自己犧牲,但是,自己的利益凌駕一切之上,這所謂理性的私利,竟然釀成全球不可避免,甚至繼續影響的金融危機。作者以淺顯易懂的文字,幽默逗趣的漫畫,解釋了極其複雜的金融事件、經濟關係,是一本上乘之作。──New York Times Book Review中立的解釋Ayn Rand理論,以及金融危機中,自由經濟體系所扮演的角色論,本書做了完整結合與解釋。──New York Times Book ReviewTracking the emergence of Ayn Rand's philosophy of objectivism in the 1940s to her present-day influence, Darryl Cunningham's latest work of graphic-nonfiction investigation leads readers to the heart of the global financial crisis of 2008. By tracing the roots of our bankrupt economies, Cunningham uses Rand's biography to illuminate the policies that led to the economic crash in the US and in Europe; he shows how Rand became one of the most influential writers of her time; and he demonstrates how her philosophy continues to affect today's politics and policies, starting with her most noted disciple, economist Alan Greenspan (former chairman of the Federal Reserve). Cunningham also shows how right-wing conservatives, libertarians, and the rise of the Tea Party movement have co-opted Rand's teachings (and inherent contradictions) to promote personal gain and profit at the expense of the "47 percent." Tackling the complexities of economics by distilling them down to a series of concepts accessible to all age groups, Cunningham ultimately delivers a devastating analysis of our current economic world.

各界推薦 以Ayn Rand的自由意志主義為基礎,以金融危機為背景,以漫畫為方式,成就這本紐約時報暢銷書。The Age of Selfishness 深入評論Ayn Rand的自由意志主義在金融危機中扮演的角色與影響。──New York Times Book Review主張利己主義的Ayn Rand的哲學理論,強調一個人生命中適當的道德目的便是追求自身的幸福或是「理性的私利」,這樣的價值思想影著今日的美國與歐洲政策,她最著名的弟子便是美國聯儲前主席葛林斯潘。曾以Psychiatric Tales , How to Fake a Moon Landing兩本圖文紀實作品獲得矚目的Darryl Cunningham,深入研究Ayn Rand傳記,紀實調查她的客觀主義對於2008年全球金融危機導致經濟崩潰的影響究竟有多大?凸顯右翼保守派,自由派和茶黨運動皆遵從Rand教派,名為促進中產階層經濟實為謀取私利和利潤,勾勒出一張張當前世界經濟破壞性分析的圖像。透過他化簡為繁的文字,以及生動活潑的漫畫,嚴肅艱澀的主題成為有趣,易於了解的紀實圖文,關心自身利益與全球金融發展者,很值得一讀。
