Capitalism

Capitalism
内容简介:

"This provocative book challenges many of our ingrained assumptions about the direction of contemporary capitalism and offers fresh perspectives that will inform the development of a new and relevant political economy for our times. The complex and often contradictory world within which modern commodities are produced, sold and consumed is set within the larger context of transnational business and economic developments. The importance of factors such as profitability and globalization is highlighted, and a sophisticated analysis of the contradictions and ironies of the world of modern commodities emerges. Trinidad provides an ideal setting for this study, given its recent oil boom and recession and the subsequent experience of both wealth and poverty."

    一三四七八章,速读。Miller的书我是一直欣赏不来,实在体会不到其中妙处。总觉此君思维实在发散,在论点之间蹦得着急,串联得不甚自然。再看看他起的这些宏伟大气上档次的书名...或许,这就是我无法理解的大师吧...回到这本书,一个开头一个结尾写得蛮清晰,然而像第四章,个人感觉写得就散乱了些,尽管结合了历史视角和田野材料,但实在不知道除了揭示市场行为和消费的复杂性之外,他到底想表达什么。但可能也是我读得不够仔细。相比之下,第七章谈购物行为的‘社会性’,就清晰、流畅很多。这并非是说米勒徒具虚名,他对以特立尼达为代表的全球南方消费者面临的困境的阐释是颇具启发的:人们一边用消费行为进行政治选择,彰显自己的尊严,但另一方面,同样的选择又在加剧他们的困境。唉,不是大师不行,是我道行太浅、心浮气躁啊...
