具体描述
David Smick keeps a low profile, but experts consider him one of the most insightful financial market strategists in the world. For more than two decades, he has conferred with central bankers (such as Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke) and advised top Wall Street executives and investors, from George Soros to Michael Steinhardt to Stan Druckenmiller. Political leaders (from Bill Bradley to Jack Kemp) have regularly sought his policy advice.
The World Is Curved picks up where Thomas Friedman’s The World Is Flat left off, taking readers on an insider’s tour through the private offices of central bankers, finance ministers, even prime ministers. Smick reveals how today’s risky environment came to be—and why the mortgage mess is a symptom of potentially far more devastating trouble. He wrestles with the two questions on everyone’s mind: How bad could things really get in today’s volatile economy? And what can we do about it?
Drawing on riveting anecdotes in language anyone can understand, Smick explains:
• Why the churning cauldron we call China (the next great bubble to burst) represents a powerful threat to everyone’s pocketbook
• How Japanese housewives have taken control of their nation’s savings, and why it matters to us
• How greed-driven bankers and investment bankers have put everyone’s pensions and 401(k)s at risk
• Why today’s “incredible shrinking central banks” may not be able to save us when the next crisis hits
• Why the big-money Russian, Chinese, Saudi, and Dubai sovereign wealth funds represent a tectonic shift in global financial power, away from the United States, Europe, and Japan
• Why the world desperately needs a “big think” financial doctrine to guide today’s dangerous ocean of money
The World Is Curved is the rare book that speaks simultaneously to the Wall Street, Washington, and London elite, yet its apt storytelling shows Main Street readers how to survive in these turbulent times.

读后感
把这本the world is curved与the world is flat放在一起，似乎可以简单的理解为平坦化的过程中，崎岖不平不可避免。作者在最后仍然是在鼓吹平坦化，鼓吹改革美国政治和法律，使美国继续成为全球最佳的长期投资地。
评分在资本时代里，资本流动加速，世界就会平一些，当然如果资本流动的不平衡，就会弯了。 每个国家发展的情况都不一样，但是对于资本来说却是相同的，因为他总会到利润最高的地方去。 全球化下，没有那个国家或者央行能够独善其身，这是作者想表达的最重要的东西。
评分或许是关于未来世界金融秩序最好的一本著作，格林斯潘在21年来首次公开推荐了这本书。在作者看来，弗里德曼《世界是平的》一书，是从全球供应链角度来看待世界；而从金融的角度来看，因为巨量资金流动的无国界性和迅速性，世界金融格局迅速变化，各国央行变得越来越无力，世界...
评分先是有世界是方的，然后世界是平的，现在是世界是弯的，hoho 世界的平的，从供应链的角度；世界是弯的，是从资金链的角度。 这本书写得不错，因为位置决定视野，视野推出观点，特别是关于经济社会的治理，正如David说得那样，现在的央行，对于汹涌的资本市场，真的是缺乏人们心...
