具体描述
From world-renowned economist Paul Collier, a candid diagnosis of the failures of capitalism and a pragmatic and realistic vision for how we can repair it.
Deep new rifts are tearing apart the fabric of the United States and other Western societies: thriving cities versus rural counties, the highly skilled elite versus the less educated, wealthy versus developing countries. As these divides deepen, we have lost the sense of ethical obligation to others that was crucial to the rise of post-war social democracy. So far these rifts have been answered only by the revivalist ideologies of populism and socialism, leading to the seismic upheavals of Trump, Brexit, and the return of the far-right in Germany. We have heard many critiques of capitalism but no one has laid out a realistic way to fix it, until now.
In a passionate and polemical book, celebrated economist Paul Collier outlines brilliantly original and ethical ways of healing these rifts—economic, social and cultural—with the cool head of pragmatism, rather than the fervor of ideological revivalism. He reveals how he has personally lived across these three divides, moving from working-class Sheffield to hyper-competitive Oxford, and working between Britain and Africa, and acknowledges some of the failings of his profession.
Drawing on his own solutions as well as ideas from some of the world’s most distinguished social scientists, he shows us how to save capitalism from itself—and free ourselves from the intellectual baggage of the twentieth century.

##（1）切中要害的提出了问题，但是解决方案介绍的过于草率。（2）作者显然是李光耀的支持者，提到的主要政策建议跟新加坡的政策基本一致，但是适用到大国的可行性没提到。（3）提出的问题里，中国除了政治两极化以外全都没拉下，作者也把中国也定义为资本主义
评分##近期最喜欢的一本书。 它一上来就不管左右，几乎鄙视了几乎所有意识形态（可能除了实用主义）。之后像百科全书一样，对当下各种社会问题作出解释。不单分析得精彩，光是对“社会问题”的选择，都让我想把作者引为知己——有太多的媒体忽略本质或者重要的问题，而讨论鸡毛蒜皮。 相比于精到的分析，作者提出的解决方案就显得很难服人。作者认为这很难直接靠市场和宏观调控解决，而应该重塑道德，从更高目标优化。我在读的时候也是那种“道理好像是没错，但这很难让我接受啊”的状态。然而快看到结尾的时候，说回“身份认同”，我有点更能接受作者的观点了——对自我价值实现的追求，对亲朋好友的爱，以至于对民族国家的感情，是确实可能不完全依靠利益而真实存在的。 不管他说的对还不对，这本书是一个很好的思考的起点。

Some of its ideas are really hard to follow, and personally I don’t believe this book has anything to do with its title, It’s more like a portrait of current conundrums related to western society, and how ppl can get them right.
