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.

評分一本好书。发展中国家的路怎么走？绝对不能简单照搬美国所推行的民主和市场经济－－书中详细分析了族群，经济类型不同的国家照搬的结果。事实上，“美国梦”和“美国制度”仅仅适合于美国，所幸的是，中国的领导人们早就意识到了这一点。 书中写到： 如今西方国家推行的资本主...
評分全球化，民主 - 输出 - 如火如荼 - 是导致在由‘主导性少数群体’控制国民经济的国家里，‘主导性少数群体’控制经济拥有财富，另外的‘多数群体’贫穷的帮凶 - 导致此类国家的暴力事件，内乱，屠杀，战争。 ‘主导性少数群体’特指有民族性属性的群体，如菲律宾华人，印尼华...
評分看了货币战争，简直是震撼了。和别的读友一起交流了一下，结果他们建议我再去读一下这个起火的世界，是对货币战争这本书介绍的西方的经济政策和现状有个更详细的了解。 这本书论点不错，但是作者对自己论点的论述，总有点美国的霸权的态度，太武断。很多例子和说明作者可以引用...
