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##Blinkist掃過。資本主義發展至今導緻貧富階級愈發分化,資本主義體製在不斷分裂並且明顯更有利於上層群體。social democracy has left us with a morally bankrupt capitalism. 然後作者宣傳an ethical capitalism foster social maternalism through pragmatic policies. Agglomeration. 就是少說意識形態大傢多實乾,鼓勵傢庭們在一起互幫互助,全球團結,建立有針對性的全球機構,重新的財富分配(高收入地區高稅收),對大公司要多徵稅或者建立更多Public interest firms. 方法都比較理想主義而且也沒什麼新招。但好像前麵對麵現有體製批評還行。
評分##Gates summer書單拖瞭半年終於讀完。總體感受:風格很學術,整體邏輯強。Collier對當今民主資本主義社會麵臨的危機及成因分析的極為透徹,核心理論(由市場資本主義轉嚮道德資本主義)清晰易懂且有說服力。美中不足是提齣的解決策略比較不切實際,這可能和作者大學教授的背景有關。但這並不影響這本佳作引發讀者思考與共鳴的力量!
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。
