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.
Paul Collier is the Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government. He is the author of The Bottom Billion, which won the Lionel Gelber Prize and the Arthur Ross Prize awarded by the Council on Foreign Relations, The Plundered Planet, Exodus and Refuge (with Alexander Betts). Collier has served as Director of the Research Department of the World Bank, and consults with the German and many other governments around the world.

Not an entry-level book for readers who have little knowledge about social science and economy. Some of its ideas are really hard to follow, and personally I don’t believe this book has anything to do...Not an entry-level book for readers who have little knowledge about social science and economy.

So...... First of all, this book is so daunting to read. I think either because the way how the author puts his explanation about the concepts and theories, or the ample jargons pertinent to social science. Graduates from social and economic science might ...

we need to leave behind the limitations of ideologies and create policy rooted in pragmatism.

资本主义世界两极分化越加严重，小镇和大城市的冲突，低教育者和精英的冲突，第一世界和第三世界的冲突。Collier提出从家庭，公司，国家和全球的长远角度来考虑，用道德来帮助弱势群体，增加共识，减少分歧。

（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
