优点:1 文笔依然流畅 2 故事依然精彩 3 现代国家实在复杂;缺点:1 倾向明显,把右派一切卡通化,包括有道理的批评,所以缺乏深度(比如没有探讨现代国家的意义) 2 像报道合集不像书籍、缺乏体系 3 有些地方自相矛盾,比如说了半天大数据的作用却没有说如何用大数据评估官僚效率
评分有点混乱
评分这本书选了美国联邦政府中三个部门作为样本,分别是商务部,农业部和能源部,给人最大的感触就是现在的政府机构,实际的运行以及其对应的职责,与他们的名字有相当大的不同,给我印象最深的就是关于商务部如何收集天气信息以及在特朗普上台以后,他们与AccuWeather前CEO之间所存在的各种利益冲突。相对于书中提到的前四个Risk,包括什么核武器或者电网故障之类的,书题的第五大风险,应该直指矛头所在特朗普政府上台以来政府对于各种重要部门的精简与缩编,强调奥巴马时期政府做得有多好,然后特朗普上来很多部门不是负责人不够格,就是干脆没有负责人,整体上貌似在说政府一团乱麻,同时说了基层中层人员有多不易。好吧,屁股决定脑袋,立场决定态度~大家开心就好
评分简明扼要的从democratic establishment的角度阐述了三个问题:管核武器靠科学,美国农村要遭殃因为淳朴的USDA都不喜欢Trump people,飓风路线很随机预测天气还得靠卫星但是大数据还是nb
评分语音书到手,骂川普的,也就这本值得一读。虽然有流水账之嫌,不过,作者呈现的黯淡现实真让理想主义者寒心。嫌内容少的读者有些吹毛求疵,川普去年初就职,作者在一年多时间完成采访撰写,写了三个主要部门的问题,已经很不易了。为叙述风格加一星,显然为了中期选举匆忙完成的。表面上反对川普,实际批判这种造就川普的政治环境和那些无视或无知于政府职能的选民们。即使共和党失去多数地位,风险长期存在,美国的政治气氛和意识形态才是问题症结所在,川普只是开始。
Michael Lewis is the best-selling author of Liar’s Poker, Moneyball, The Blind Side, The Big Short, and The Undoing Project. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife and three children.
What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?
"The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them.
Michael Lewis’s brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it’s not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before terrorists do.
Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it’s better never to really understand those problems. There is upside to ignorance, and downside to knowledge. Knowledge makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for a person who wishes to shrink the world to a worldview.
If there are dangerous fools in this book, there are also heroes, unsung, of course. They are the linchpins of the system―those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running. Michael Lewis finds them, and he asks them what keeps them up at night.
