For over a decade now, the reigning consensus has held that the combination of free markets and democracy would transform the third world and sweep away the ethnic hatred and religious zealotry associated with underdevelopment. In this astute, original, and surprising investigation of the true impact of globalization, Yale Law School professor Amy Chua explains why many developing countries are in fact consumed by ethnic violence after adopting free market democracy.
Chua shows how in non-Western countries around the globe, free markets have concentrated starkly disproportionate wealth in the hands of a resented ethnic minority. These “market-dominant minorities” – Chinese in Southeast Asia, Croatians in the former Yugoslavia, whites in Latin America and South Africa, Indians in East Africa, Lebanese in West Africa, Jews in post-communist Russia – become objects of violent hatred. At the same time, democracy empowers the impoverished majority, unleashing ethnic demagoguery, confiscation, and sometimes genocidal revenge. She also argues that the United States has become the world’s most visible market-dominant minority, a fact that helps explain the rising tide of anti-Americanism around the world. Chua is a friend of globalization, but she urges us to find ways to spread its benefits and curb its most destructive aspects.

評分【新书评】 一般而言，语词的确认和概念的推销，背后的主宰无非是“金钱-权力”。然而有趣的是，这本书提供了一个精心构思的命题：金钱+权力之于少数族群-多数族群，并非总是依照一种普世的配对模式：在一些国家，少数族群往往是“外来者”，他们掌握了金钱和市场，却沦为民主...
評分輸出自由民主市場，這是西方國家進行文明傳播與推廣的一種慣常方式。然而這種方法並不是萬能良方，由於各國的國情不同，這種文明輸出激化了很多發展中國家的矛盾。在《起火的世界》一書中作者蔡愛眉從種族仇恨這個角度入手剖析了該種發展方式所造成的動蕩，並提出了自己的見解...
