“A work of tremendous originality and insight. ... Makes you see the world differently.”— Washington Post A modern classic that uses historical analysis to shed light on the present, The Future of Freedom is, as the Chicago Tribune put it, "essential reading for anyone worried about the promotion and preservation of liberty." Hailed by the New York Times as "brave and ambitious...updated Tocqueville," it enjoyed extended stays on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal , and Washington Post bestseller lists and has been translated into eighteen languages. Prescient in laying out the distinction between democracy and liberty, the book now contains a new afterword on the United States's occupation of Iraq. "Intensely provocative and valuable," according to BusinessWeek , with an easy command of history, philosophy, and current affairs, The Future of Freedom calls for a restoration of the balance between liberty and democracy and shows how politics and government can be made effective and relevant for our time. This new edition includes a new afterword on America in Iraq.
In Germany, by contrast, industrialization was jump-started and prodded by government subsidies, regulations, and tariffs. As a result its bourgeoisie was weak, divided, and subservient to the state and its ruling feudal elite. Marx contemptuously described Germany’s business class as “a bourgeoisie without a world historical purpose.”
Germany had a strong bureaucratic tradition of which it was understandably proud. Its state had been far more progressive and efficient at handling many of the problems of industrialization and urbanization—such as public health, transportation, and pensions—than any other European country. But as a result, instead of maintaining independence from state authority, German entrepreneurs eagerly sought favors and honors from the state. (查看原文)

前面几张尽是些政治学常识，但第六章很有sharp analysis，把美国社会民主化和商业化的弊端写得太好了！有点《格调》的味道…… 结论（虽然作者很小心地政治正确了一把）是“穷国别急着谈民主（liberal authoritarianism更好？），富国要小心谈民主（delegation的重要性；有一定独立性的组织运转和绩效更佳，也更有利于人民福利）”——Cannot agree more!

贵族们大都喜欢自由，不喜欢民主。民主提供了合法性，但不解决治理的问题。很多结论，其统计基础是有问题的，比如民主和人均收入的关系。它说人均收入在6000美元以上的国家民主反转的概率是1/500，我很好奇他到哪里去找500个国家的样本？

调理不是非常清晰，但是比较全面地分析了民主可能导致的一些人所不愿的弊端。

作者将一些时评撺掇在一起，就想解答一个为什么自由比民主更重要的话题。各种素材从选取到安排，毫无逻辑可言，甚至往往令人瞠目。像拿他的导师亨廷顿的范儿，结果范儿有了，里子一团乱絮。
