Matthew C. Klein is the economics commentator at Barron’s. He lives in San Francisco, CA. Michael Pettis is professor of finance at Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management and a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He lives in Beijing.
Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today’s trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past thirty years. Across the world, the rich have prospered while workers can no longer afford to buy what they produce, have lost their jobs, or have been forced into higher levels of debt. In this thought‑provoking challenge to mainstream views, the authors provide a cohesive narrative that shows how the class wars of rising inequality are a threat to the global economy and international peace—and what we can do about it.
##可以通過這本書學到很多國際貿易,金融曆史和現狀的知識。180年前大清國與大英帝國的鴉片戰爭不是關於鴉片的,而是關於貿易的。鴉片戰爭隻是從貿易矛盾升華到熱戰的程度,背後是因為貿易的不平衡,雙方爭奪的是如何成為一個順差國。而今天的中美的貿易戰本質是不同國傢由於全球化造成的內部矛盾。貿易戰有三方玩傢,收益方是資本在全球流動過程中錢生錢的財團和銀行獲得巨大的利潤,另外兩個玩傢是像中國那樣低收入的貿易順差國傢和被壓迫的普通人。還有受到失業的壓迫以及債務的上升像美國那樣的貿易逆差國傢的普通人。受益者是跨國財團,受害人是中美兩國的普通老百姓。川普當選後是代錶美國中低層的人們利益,他們對華爾街那些財團以及全球化造成的負麵影響是不滿的,這些民眾都是不滿現狀,想要改變。唯一辦法是去全球化或逆全球化。
評分 評分##未必正確,但讀一下有助於理解outsiders的思路 英國《金融時報》首席經濟評論員 馬丁•沃爾夫 “貿易戰經常被形容為國傢之間的戰爭。事實並非如此:貿易戰主要是銀行傢和金融資産所有者與普通傢庭之間——富有階層和其他所有人之間——的衝突。” 這句話概括瞭《貿易戰爭實為階級戰爭》(Trade Wars Are Class Wars)一書的...
評分 評分 評分##3.5星吧,一開始講國際貿易、資本流動、産業升級的邏輯和變遷部分言簡意賅很好,能夠提及一部分資本主義國傢內部的階級矛盾也很好,但核心問題是:1 政經不分傢,隻強調經濟邏輯不解釋背後的邏輯,無異於攻乎異端 2 世界範圍內的不平等一字不提,導緻企圖實現的平衡依然是基於不平等和剝削的而非進步的和共贏的 3 提齣的解決方案異想天開。可以說,講矛盾的同一性和鬥爭性不錯,但強調瞭矛盾的特殊性而沒有找到矛盾的普遍性,另外主要矛盾抓得不好,導緻對矛盾中的對抗理解不深刻,歸根結底是缺乏唯物辯證的世界觀。
評分##the distribution of purchasing power within a society affects its economic relations with the rest of the world.
