补充一下我之前的回答,推荐一本书:Thomas Friedman 的《Hot, Flat and Crowded》。这本书差不多是 20 年前写的,到现在也完全不过时。
Adding to my previous answer, here's a reading suggestion: Hot, Flat and Crowded, by Thomas Friedman. The book was written almost 2 decades ago and it has aged really well.
……需要,我可以随时随地做任何工作,同时拥有更多自由还能赚更多钱,请注意,这可不是大多数人对全球化的反应。那本书刚出的时候,我当时的女朋友给我买了《Hot, Flat, and Crowded》,因为她知道我有多喜欢那一本。我那时在南加州一家太阳能公司工作,那本书给了我很多推销产品的谈资和说辞。……
…needed, that I can work anywhere doing anything, while having more freedom and making more money, not the response I've gotten from most people regarding globalization mind you. My then girlfriend got me Hot, Flat, and Crowded when it came out because she knew how much I liked that one so much. I had been working for a solar energy company in Southern California and the book gave me a lot of talking points to sell the product.…
好问题,几年前我去莫桑比克呆 10 周之前也问过这问题。我当时刚买了个 Kindle,那会儿在美国境外还买不到,我就问了在 Foo 营地聊天认识的几个有趣的人。这是我后来第一批买的几本 Kindle 电子书: The Match King Heros Die(后来这系列剩下的我都买了) The city and the city Every patient tells a story Blindsigh
Great question, and one that I asked just before going to Mozambique for 10 weeks a few years back. I'd just bought a kindle, which were not available outside the USA back then, and asked a few interesting folks I was chatting to at Foo. Here are my resulting first few kindle purchases: The Match King Heros Die (I bought the rest of them) The city and the city Every patient tells a story Blindsigh
Thomas Friedman 在《Hot, Flat and Crowded》里做了一番详尽的论证,把原油价格与(中东)政府的反民主与压迫本质联系在了一起。
Thomas Friedman, in "hot flat and crowded" makes an elaborate case linking the price of crude oil to the undemocratic and oppressive nature of (middle eastern) governments.
中国在汽车领域搞大动作的禁令变革也不是头一回了。Friedman 在《Hot, Flat, and Crowded》里就写过他们的政策转向。中国只用了短短几年就落实了美国花了几十年才搞定的汽车排放变革(比如无铅汽油)。所以,好吧,他们不会彻底全面禁车,但也不难想象其他情况……
China doing a massive ban-change to vehicles wouldn't be a first. Friedman wrote about their policy shifts in Hot, Flat, and Crowded. China has implemented changes to vehicle emissions in just a few years that took the US decades (e.g. unleaded gas). So, okay, they won't ban cars outright, but it isn't impossible to imagine other scenarios…
……他还在 2002 年获得了普利策评论奖。Friedman 先生是《From Beirut to Jerusalem》(该书于 1989 年获得美国国家图书奖)的作者。他还写过其他几本书,包括国际畅销书《Hot, Flat and Crowded》。Friedman 先生出生于明尼阿波利斯,1975 年在布兰迪斯大学获得地中海研究学士学位。1978 年他获得了现代中东研究硕士学位……

He has written several other books, including “Hot, Flat and Crowded,” an international best seller.
