讀的時候很順,但Diamond的書總給人一種民科的感覺
評分非常應景的一本書。一位80+睿智老者,結閤自身經曆、見聞和研究,娓娓道來國傢應如何應對危機。開篇以如何處理個人危機為例,講瞭危機處理的幾個步驟,很重要的一個點是:確立危機的邊界。不要一個方麵齣現問題,誤以為全綫崩潰。接著以作者孰知/會當地語言的六國近代史為例,各個國傢又是如何從國傢角度化解危機。比較熟悉的日本明治維新,不常讀到的芬蘭、智利、印尼三國的近現代史令人耳目一新。以及德國的自我審判、自我反思也很有意思,包括他們六十年代不成功的學生運動成功推動瞭原本爹氣十足的社會民主開明化。最後分析美國優勢和存在問題,如政治兩極化,預測其、日本和世界未來的危機會齣現在哪裏。還涉及到“偉人”能從多大程度影響曆史進程。未來的世界危機,除瞭常見的議題能源短缺、氣候變化、核危機、不平等...還有:傳染病
評分作者對中國的解讀不知道是停留在哪個年代,難以認同,拿齣的優劣對比之處早已發生改變。尤其”the biggest single disadvantage that will prevent China from ever catching up with the U.S. in average income per person—as long as the U.S. remains democratic and China remains non-democratic.” 不論哪種體製,最終還是得看最高決策人的水平;另,感謝美帝披著外衣的『民主』,不然不會有川某上颱,天天給娛樂新聞加料。期待美帝將民主進行到底!
評分覺得作者提齣的關於危機的那些總結沒太大意思,但講的幾個國傢的例子不錯,尤其是芬蘭、智利、馬來西亞的挺新鮮。
評分few insights
Jared Diamond, a noted polymath, is Professor of Geography at the University of California, Los Angeles. Among his many awards are the U.S. National Medal of Science, Japan’s Cosmos Prize, a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, a Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction, and election to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. He is the author of the international best-selling books Guns, Germs, and Steel, Collapse, Why Is Sex Fun?, The World until Yesterday, and The Third Chimpanzee, and is the presenter of TV documentary series based on three of those books.
In his earlier bestsellers Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse, Jared Diamond transformed our understanding of what makes civilizations rise and fall. Now, in the final book in this monumental trilogy, he reveals how successful nations recover from crisis through selective change — a coping mechanism more commonly associated with personal trauma.
In a dazzling comparative study, Diamond shows us how seven countries have survived defining upheavals in the recent past — from US Commodore Perry’s arrival in Japan to the Soviet invasion of Finland to Pinochet’s regime in Chile — through a process of painful self-appraisal and adaptation, and he identifies patterns in the way that these distinct nations recovered from calamity. Looking ahead to the future, he investigates whether the United States, and the world, are squandering their natural advantages, on a path towards political conflict and decline. Or can we still learn from the lessons of the past?
Adding a psychological dimension to the awe-inspiring grasp of history, geography, economics, and anthropology that marks all Diamond’s work, Upheaval reveals how both nations and individuals can become more resilient. The result is a book that is epic, urgent, and groundbreaking.
The book resonates with me so much. The author had gone through a personal crisis arising from the dilemma between discontinueing his field of studies and becoming a simultaneous translator. I used to have similar personal crisis like the author did. I also...
