Starred Review. Former foreign editor of Time, Ramo pushes the reader into uncomfortable yet exhilarating places with controversial ways of thinking about global challenges (e.g., studying why Hezbollah is the most efficiently run Islamic militant group). His book, which lays bare the flaws in current thinking on everything from American political influence to the economy, is designed to change the physics of the way we think. Analyzing the failure of the Bush administration's Democratic Peace Theory and the fruitless efforts at a Mideast peace process, Ramo suggests that people must change the role they imagine for themselves from architects of a system they can control to gardeners in a living ecosystem. Ramo's message—that the most dynamic forces emerge from outside elite circles: geeks, iconoclasts and maligned populations—is persuasively argued. And while the author doesn't explicitly offer up solutions, he goads readers to approach problems in unexpected ways. His revelatory work argues that there must be some audacity in thinking before there can be any audacity of hope. (Apr.)

几十年前,一个叫巴布斯特的人把1789年到1941年的一些战争数据输入计算机中进行概率统计,得出一个结论:从1789年到1941年间,有着民主选举的政府的独立国家之间没有发生过战争,根据统计出的事实,他认为:只要有了民主,便有了和平。 布什政府显然是这一“民主和平论...

评分民主+资本主义=繁荣和稳定?这个记者给了一个我们隐约觉得不对又暂时想不出来的想法。从小就知道资本主义的不好和逐步毁灭的轨迹,但是还不清楚实际的繁荣秘密以及内部的生态发展。在历史的过程中,哪有绝对的事情呢,都是在此时复杂的环境中才有了绝对的真理。以后的子孙看来...
评分这本书,再次展现雷默的敏感,当然,宽阔的思维运动一直驰骋在新世界的构建上。观点并不新颖,继续看好北京,发掘世界变局的策动点。 除此之外,我只能说,很好很好,就像看通天帝国,看时热闹非凡,看完也能瞬间忘记干净。
评分本书可说是一本有关于物理的政治学。简单如这般的道理能写成一本书真是服了。本人一直是阴谋论者,实在不想相信这就是该书作者对“中国模式”的的全部思考。当初写《北京共识》可能是真的有感而发,而这一次的《不可思议的世界》有可能是西方少数利益集团捧杀中国伎俩之一。从2...
