Red Capitalism Douban Goodreads
author: Carl E. Walter / Fraser J. T. Howie publishing house: Wiley 2011 - 2 other title: Red Capitalism: The Fragile Financial Foundation of China's Extraordinary Rise
For many years now China's economy has seemed unstoppable. A slow appreciation of the renminbi in 2007 brought wave upon wave of liquidity into China and allowed its companies and banks to raise hundreds of billions in dollars via stock market listings. State banks that had started the new century as bankrupt relics of a communist past became the darlings of international investors.
Even the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and the ensuing global financial crisis seemed to have little impact on China as the government quickly responded with a huge stimulus package. But the Lehman collapse was a dramatic wake up call to the Chinese leadership. This model of bank and capital market reform had been studiously emulated for more than a decade and had brought great benefits to China. But now, although they believed it to be bankrupt, the Chinese government were bereft of new ideas. In the face of the global financial crisis the government returned to what it knows best, massive state intervention via the banking system. Ten years of banking and capital market reforms were dead.
In Red Capitalism, Carl Walter and Fraser Howie detail how the Chinese government reformed and modeled its financial system in the 30 years since it began its policy of engagement with the west. Instead of a stable series of policies producing steady growth, China's financial sector has boomed and gone bust with regularity in each decade. The latest decade is little different. Chinese banks have become objects of political struggle while they totter under balance sheets bloated by the excessive state-directed lending and bond issuance of 2009.
Looking forward, the government's response to the global financial crisis has created a banking system the stability of which can be maintained only behind the walls of a non-convertible currency, a myriad of off-balance sheet arrangements with non-public state entities and the strong support of its best borrowers--the politically potent National Champions--who are the greatest beneficiaries of the financial status quo.
China's financial system is not a model for the west and, indeed, is not a sustainable arrangement for China itself as it seeks increasingly to assert its influence internationally. This is not a story of impending collapse, but of frustrated reforms that suggests that any full opening and meaningful reform of the financial sector is not, indeed cannot be, on the government's agenda anytime soon.
现代国家的起源 Douban
On the Medieval Origins of the Modern State
author: 约瑟夫·R.斯特雷耶(Joseph R.Strayer) translator: 华佳 / 王夏 publishing house: 格致出版社 上海人民出版社 2011 - 3
《现代国家的起源》为新政治经济学译丛之一。《现代国家的起源》研究国家起源尤其是现代欧洲国家早期历史的学术小册子。《现代国家的起源》精彩刻画了自中世纪起,现代国家的兴起和发展轨迹。特别集中分析了法国和英国,因为作者认为,那些一直持续到我们现代的第一批欧洲国家制度,是在1100-1600年期间法国和英国形成的,正是这些制度的发展,才使得欧洲国家能够拥有用于组织、控制大规模人群的强有力的国家机器。而其他欧洲国家,都非常强烈地受到这些先行国家的影响。
纳博科夫的蝴蝶 Douban
Nabokov's Blues:The Scientific Odyssey of a Literary Genius
author: [美]库尔特·约翰逊 / [美]史蒂夫·科茨 translator: 丁亮 / 李颖超 publishing house: 上海交通大学出版社 2016 - 5
鳞翅目分类学是蝴蝶和蛾类研究的科学分支,该领域拥有漫长而辉煌的历史和传奇人物。然而对于鳞翅目分类学家,事实上甚至对于大多数昆虫学家而言,他们的名声仅在一个由科学家和收藏家们组成的充满激情的圈子里传播,极少为外界所知。
《纳博科夫的蝴蝶》为读者展现了文学家纳博科夫鲜为人知的侧面——他是一位自学成才的鳞翅目分类学家,一生投身于南美蓝灰蝶研究。本书全景回顾了纳博科夫所作的蓝灰蝶分类学研究,并通过大量详实的材料,以生动的笔法讲述了纳博科夫的“双L人生”(一个L代表文学[Literature],另一个L代表鳞翅目昆虫学[Lepidoptery])。
此外,为更加全面地展现纳博科夫的研究成果及其在蓝灰蝶分类学领域的深远影响,本书作者还细述了许多支继承納氏遗志的探险队,他们为验证、完善纳博科夫的蓝灰蝶研究,亲身前往拉美人迹罕至的丛林与高山进行科学探索。得益于纳博科夫以及后继者们的努力,人类对于蓝灰蝶的认识愈发清晰,蓝灰蝶分类体系愈发成熟。
至今,纳博科夫的博物学家的身份在国内很少被人提起,也鲜有人对此进行相关讨论。通过此书,读者能够更好地理解科学与文化、科学与艺术之关系,品读纳博科夫激荡不平凡的科学人生。
天下时代 Douban
Order and History (Volume 4): The Ecumenic Age
10.0 (5 ratings) author: [美] 埃里克·沃格林 translator: 叶颖 publishing house: 译林出版社 2018 - 4
《天下时代》是沃格林的五卷本巨著《秩序与历史》的第四卷,该书突破了前三卷的既定设想,将历史视为人参与具有终末论方向的神性在场之流的过程,并用这种修正过的历史观念,来分析大致始于波斯帝国崛起,终于罗马帝国衰落,并涵盖了东亚的中华文明的“天下时代”。这一时期的重要标志,包括“普世帝国”这种新政治单元的到来,“精神突进”运动的出现,以及若干普世宗教的勃兴。《天下时代》秉承“历史的秩序来自秩序的历史”的基本理念,追溯并重估了人类社会在“天下时代”寻求秩序的种种尝试,对于我们认识与反思现代社会秩序类型,也有着重要的参考价值。
★ 探索人性与神性秩序在历史中的相互交织和显现
★ 《秩序与历史》五卷本中重要的突破和转向之章
【媒体评价】
当代最为重要的政治哲学家并不是哈贝马斯和罗尔斯,而是沃格林和施特劳斯。
——詹姆斯•罗兹
思想者的真诚首先在于,随时准备推翻自己的定见从头开始!出生于自由思想之家的沃格林的“史稿”,不同样(且首先)在冲击西方学界近两百年来的启蒙传统观念吗?
——列奥•施特劳斯
现在所谓的社会科学中的解释学转向,沃格林从开始学术工作起就已经在践行了。
——于尔根•格布哈特
自由主义的未来 Douban
The Future of Liberalism
author: [美]艾伦·沃尔夫 translator: 甘会斌 / 王崧 publishing house: 译林出版社 2017 - 8
《自由主义的未来》是对自由主义极为扣人心弦的探索与辩护,不仅回顾了自由主义传统建立以来的众多理论基石,还研究了那些挑战自由主义的理论。沃尔夫分析并赞赏自由主义所包含的广阔人性概念,但他也明确表示,在自由主义被成功应用到诸如移民、堕胎、宗教自由等问题之前,它需要被修复、理解、接纳,以最有益的方式融入我们复杂的现代世界。
迄今为止的四分之一世纪里,美国自由主义在守势和空想间摇摆不止。毋庸惊讶,美国公众难于辨识它所指何意。如今,艾伦·沃尔夫让自由与平等的原初理想再放光彩。
Language and Silence Douban Goodreads
author: George Steiner publishing house: Yale University Press 1998 - 5
How do we evaluate the power and utility of language when it has been made to articulate falsehoods in certain totalitarian regimes or has been charged with vulgarity and imprecision in a mass-consumer democracy? How will language react to the increasingly urgent claims of more exact speech such as mathematics and symbolic notation? These are some of the questions Steiner addresses in this elegantly written book, first published in 1967 to international acclaim.
罗森茨维格 Douban
Franz Rosenzweig,His Life and Thought
author: [美]纳胡姆•格拉策 编著 translator: 孙增霖 publishing house: 漓江出版社 2017 - 1
罗森茨维格的一生便是一场巨大的精神探索,他深刻的哲学思想与犹太学研究完美融合在了一起。本书编者纳胡姆•格拉策曾师从罗森茨维格,见证了这位大师生命中的许多珍贵时刻,对罗森茨维格也有着最独特深入的理解。格拉策秉持弟子的谦卑与传记作者的客观公允,以最聪明、最适当的方式完成了这部解读罗森茨维格的引导性著作,那就是以罗森茨维格自己的著述来构筑他的生平历程和思想脉络。通过精心的编辑,格拉策在第一编用罗森茨维格的日记、书信、谈话记录来勾勒其人,在第二编通过其著作选编来呈现其思,两个部分互为佐证,将罗森茨维格这样一个极为特殊的圣徒式犹太天才,以最大限度的真实呈现出来。
这是罗森茨维格研究和二十世纪犹太哲学研究的一部不可取代的必读书。
罗森茨威格是完全可以和维特根斯坦、海德格尔齐名的二十世纪大思想家,他的人生比维特根斯坦更离奇,他的重要性还尚未被广泛认知,但就像孤寂的卡夫卡注定会迎来他的时代一样,属于罗森茨维格的时代也必定会来临。
他在短暂的人生中虽然留下的著作不多,迈出的每一步思想的脚步却都是深思熟虑。从他在战壕里用明信片写作《救赎之星》,到翻译犹大•哈列维诗作,再到病中与马丁•布伯合作翻译《圣经》,他的人生轨迹就是思想的实现,知与行的合一更是在他命定的疾病中达到最完美的统一:长达八年的瘫痪,既是祝福也是考验,既是赞美也是反讽;他在此过程中保持了幽默、品位、挑剔、严苛,和对死亡边缘之生活的敞开状态。这一切都在格拉策这本忠实的记录中得到了保存。
本书是子午线译丛的一种,也是这套书中最有分量的著作之一,同已出的《潜能》一样值得研读收藏,也同《潜能》一样以精装的形式呈现给读者。
光年 Douban Goodreads
Light Years
8.3 (26 ratings) author: [美国] 詹姆斯·索特 translator: 孔亚雷 publishing house: 广西师范大学出版社 2018 - 5
维瑞和芮徳娜夫妇的生活,似乎只是一场无尽的饗宴。丈夫事业有成,妻子优雅聪慧,他们有两个可爱的小孩,一群迷人的朋友,还有一只狗和一匹小马。模范家庭,理想人生,却在几无觉察间如一艘大船慢慢腐朽,无可挽回…
从未有人这样写过被时间磨损的爱和婚姻,也没有谁如此心碎地写出家庭与自我、占有与放弃之间逐步扩散的裂痕。詹姆斯·索特精美绝伦的小说,将人生中那些不可磨灭的时刻酿成烈酒,一饮而尽。在他笔下,碎片具有了永恒的意义,而几个句子便足够最丰富重大的事件隐秘地发生。“一部20世纪的杰作”,《光年》是属于所有世代的理想的哀歌。
