终于看完了,西方国家和世界上其他国家的文明的各种对比贯穿全书。假如西方文明崩塌了,世界会不会如同当年罗马帝国衰亡之时一般进入黑暗?有可能。
评分花了我30多刀从英国邮寄到德州啊T T
评分competition, science, democracy, medicine, consumerism and the work ethic.只想看看protestant work ethic.
评分前面读着挺好,感觉作者思路有点跳但毕竟是我喜欢的比较witty的风格所以可以忍,直到倒数第二章关于宗教人设狂崩,把西方的衰落归结为基督教的式微简直就是知识分子之耻,边读边喊WTF,最后是把温州的经济腾飞归结为当地华人基督教的兴起将本书的荒诞推向了高潮。珍爱生命,远离神棍。

尼尔·弗格森,英国最著名的历史学家之一。哈佛大学历史系教授、牛津大学高级研究员,同时也是斯坦福大学胡佛研究所的高级研究员。他是极少数能横跨学术界、金融界和媒体的专家之一。著有《货币崛起》等多部畅销书,同时还为多家报纸和杂志撰稿。此外,他还制作了四部非常成功的电视纪录片:《帝国》、《美国巨人》、《世界战争》,以及最近的《货币崛起》。2004年被《时代》周刊评为“影响世界的100人”之一。
If in the year 1411 you had been able to circumnavigate the globe, you would have been most impressed by the dazzling civilizations of the Orient. The Forbidden City was under construction in Ming Beijing; in the Near East, the Ottomans were closing in on Constantinople. By contrast, England would have struck you as a miserable backwater ravaged by plague, bad sanitation and incessant war. The other quarrelsome kingdoms of Western Europe – Aragon, Castile, France, Portugal and Scotland – would have seemed little better. As for fifteenth-century North America, it was an anarchic wilderness compared with the realms of the Aztecs and Incas. The idea that the West would come to dominate the Rest for most of the next half millennium would have struck you as wildly fanciful. And yet it happened. What was it about the civilization of Western Europe that allowed it to trump the outwardly superior empires of the Orient? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues, was that the West developed six “killer applications” that the Rest lacked: competition, science, democracy, medicine, consumerism and the work ethic. The key question today is whether or not the West has lost its monopoly on these six things. If so, Ferguson warns, we may be living through the end of Western ascendancy. Civilization takes readers on their own extraordinary journey around the world – from the Grand Canal at Nanjing to the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul; from Machu Picchu in the Andes to Shark Island, Namibia; from the proud towers of Prague to the secret churches of Wenzhou. It is the story of sailboats, missiles, land deeds, vaccines, blue jeans and Chinese Bibles. It is the defining narrative of modern world history.

评分英国著名哲学家罗素曾通过其名著《西方的智慧》向世人展示了一幅哲学思想层面的西方史全景图,可是却遭人质疑:全书没有给东方的智慧留一席之地,意即该书无处不在充斥着对西方文化的夸耀和赞叹。在罗素看来,东西方两个世界是在互相隔绝的情况下各自发展的,因此,就西方思想...
评分西方陷入了焦虑。这种焦虑既来自对反恐战争漫无尽头的不满,也来自对非西方国家迅速崛起的担忧。去年美国信用评级下调,欧洲债务危机加剧,而中国和其他“金砖”国家持续推动着全球增长。据高盛公司预测,2027年中国的经济规模将超过美国,尽管前者的人均收入仍低于后者。与美...

评分2011年很显然是Niall Ferguson的一年,抛下英国去了米国并且娶了索马里小三的历史学哥们,终于在力挺中国经济的7,8年后成为了最主流的经济史学家。Civilization是一本Ferguson回归西方的书,主要的观点在于六大杀手软件:医学,私有制,竞争,科学,消费力,以及道德水平。这...
