具體描述

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.

##結構比較鬆散 花樣黑Trump 故事本身還都是頗值得一讀的

評分

##US government is a giant organization that is misunderstood by most of Americans.

評分

##每一個risk的基本闡述邏輯是:**精英在某個部門做齣瞭傑齣貢獻,某個部門對於整個美國的社會經濟發展不可或缺,而Trump團隊卻對此不夠重視。。。

評分

##主旨是批判建國同誌缺乏行政管理能力,大量篇幅是介紹美國很多政府部門都是做什麼的。包括商業部,能源部,農業部… 打個岔,我國對農業數據氣象數據的分析和使用,是不是還沒有開始?

評分

##感覺,寫跟金融不相關的的有點看不下去…當然題材還是不錯的,我們不知道的風險纔是最緻命的,
