    作为世界上最庞大也最强大的机构,美国政府的隐患如何产生自内部。就像科幻/文革里人类自毁装置被打开了,第一章可谓步步惊心,完全可以当成政治悬疑来看,只不过书里所讲的事情是真的。后几章节奏略有松弛,不然可以给五星

    每一个risk的基本阐述逻辑是:**精英在某个部门做出了杰出贡献,某个部门对于整个美国的社会经济发展不可或缺,而Trump团队却对此不够重视。。。

    语音书到手,骂川普的,也就这本值得一读。虽然有流水账之嫌,不过,作者呈现的黯淡现实真让理想主义者寒心。嫌内容少的读者有些吹毛求疵,川普去年初就职,作者在一年多时间完成采访撰写,写了三个主要部门的问题,已经很不易了。为叙述风格加一星,显然为了中期选举匆忙完成的。表面上反对川普,实际批判这种造就川普的政治环境和那些无视或无知于政府职能的选民们。即使共和党失去多数地位,风险长期存在,美国的政治气氛和意识形态才是问题症结所在,川普只是开始。

    There were hundreds of fantastically important success stories in the United States government. They just never got told.Max knew an astonishing number of them. He’d detected a pattern: a surprising number of the people responsible for them were first-generation Americans who had come from places without well-functioning governments. People who had lived without government were more likely to find meaning in it. On the other hand, people who had never experienced a collapsed state were slow to appreciate a state that had not yet collapsed. That was maybe Max’s biggest challenge: explaining the value of this enterprise at the center of a democratic society to people who either took it for granted or imagined it as a pernicious force in their lives over which they had no control.

    Barry Myers liked to say that he was in competition with the federal government. If so, the competition was bizarre: the U.S. Department of Commerce gave him, for free, most of the raw material he needed to create his product. Without the weather satellites, weather radar, weather buoys, and weather balloons, there would be no weather forecasting worth listening to, much less paying for. Whatever AccuWeather—and any other private weather forecaster—might be doing to refine the National Weather Service’s forecasts also depended on having those forecasts in the first place. “If the Weather Service forecast wasn’t there, all the private weather forecasts would get worse,” says David Kenny..........In 2005 Rick Santorum, a senator from AccuWeather’s home state of Pennsylvania and a recipient...

    One senior official at the Department of Commerce at the time was struck by how far this one company in the private sector had intruded into what was, in the end, a matter of public safety. “You’re essentially taking a public good that’s been paid for with taxpayer dollars and restricting it to the privileged few who want to make money off it,” he said........Another McKinsey study estimated that the entire industry generated somewhere between $2 billion and $4 billion a year in revenue and was growing fast. With reason. The annual cost of natural disasters in the 1980s had been $50 billion. Hurricane Sandy alone inflicted over $65 billion worth of damage. The private weather industry, unlike the National Weather Service, has a financial interest in catastrophe. The more spectacular and ...
