具体描述

Michael Lewis is the best-selling author of Liar’s Poker, Moneyball, The Blind Side, The Big Short, and The Undoing Project. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife and three children.

What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?

"The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them.

Michael Lewis’s brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it’s not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before terrorists do.

Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it’s better never to really understand those problems. There is upside to ignorance, and downside to knowledge. Knowledge makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for a person who wishes to shrink the world to a worldview.

If there are dangerous fools in this book, there are also heroes, unsung, of course. They are the linchpins of the system―those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running. Michael Lewis finds them, and he asks them what keeps them up at night.

##作为世界上最庞大也最强大的机构,美国政府的隐患如何产生自内部。就像科幻/文革里人类自毁装置被打开了,第一章可谓步步惊心,完全可以当成政治悬疑来看,只不过书里所讲的事情是真的。后几章节奏略有松弛,不然可以给五星

评分

##语音书到手,骂川普的,也就这本值得一读。虽然有流水账之嫌,不过,作者呈现的黯淡现实真让理想主义者寒心。嫌内容少的读者有些吹毛求疵,川普去年初就职,作者在一年多时间完成采访撰写,写了三个主要部门的问题,已经很不易了。为叙述风格加一星,显然为了中期选举匆忙完成的。表面上反对川普,实际批判这种造就川普的政治环境和那些无视或无知于政府职能的选民们。即使共和党失去多数地位,风险长期存在,美国的政治气氛和意识形态才是问题症结所在,川普只是开始。

有点敷衍。去年Michael Lewis在名利场上写过两篇文章Why the Scariest Nuclear Threat May Be Coming from Inside the White House & Inside Trump's Cruel Campaign Against the U.S.D.A.'s Scientists,这两篇关于能源部和农业部的文章覆盖了本书2/3的内容。

##有点散的流水账,中心思想不过是it's the risks that we fail to imagine that get us killed,扯上特朗普岂不是格局小了?
