Blinkist扫过。标题里的概念在这些年已经被反复提及,民粹主义,身份标签之后的单一性和过分强调性,人群小团体的“部落化”,都导致了社会的越发割裂与极端。但本书好像也有点割裂。前面写的是民主资本主义社会是一个奇迹,最先出现在英国有一定的偶然性,但在美国的话就是一个有意识有追求的选择。英国有岛国的天然地理优势、common law的追溯先例和英国本身的个体精神与free association。面对人性最初的竞争性和残忍性,当代西方社会追求和保护每个人的right to life, liberty and property是一个奇迹。洛克认为是保护个体权利,卢梭认为是同意上交一定的个体利益以保证社会集体利益,这样个体不会被社会腐化。精英领导依旧以能力基础,可以有效但必须受到监督。

Jonah Goldberg is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a senior editor at National Review, and his nationally syndicated column appears in over 100 newspapers across the United States. He is a weekly columnist for the Los Angeles Times, a member of the board of contributors to USA Today, a Fox News contributor, and a member of the "Fox News All-Stars.”
With his trademark blend of political history, social science, economics, and pop culture, two-time NYT bestselling author, syndicated columnist, National Review senior editor, and American Enterprise Institute fellow Jonah Goldberg makes the timely case that America and other democracies are in peril as they lose the will to defend the values and institutions that sustain freedom and prosperity. Instead we are surrendering to populism, nationalism and other forms of tribalism.
Only once in the last 250,000 years have humans stumbled upon a way to lift ourselves out of the endless cycle of poverty, hunger, and war that defines most of history—in 18th century England when we accidentally discovered the miracle of liberal democratic capitalism.
As Americans we are doubly blessed that those radical ideas were written into the Constitution, laying the groundwork for our uniquely prosperous society:
· Our rights come from God not from the government.
· The government belongs to us; we do not belong to the government.
· The individual is sovereign. We are all captains of our own souls.
· The fruits of our labors belong to us.
In the last few decades, these political virtues have been turned into vices. As we are increasingly taught to view our traditions as a system of oppression, exploitation and “white privilege,” the principles of liberty and the rule of law are under attack from left and right.
At a moment when authoritarianism, tribalism, identity politics, nationalism, and cults of personality are rotting our democracy from within, Goldberg exposes the West’s suicidal tendencies on both sides of the ideological aisle. For the West to survive, we must renew our sense of gratitude for what our civilization has given us and rediscover the ideals that led us out of the bloody muck of the past – or back to the muck we will go.
Suicide is painless, liberty takes work.
