In The Fourth Revolution, John Micklethwait e Adrian Wooldridge si chiedono: a cosa serve realmente lo Stato? Il loro straordinario libro descrive le tre grandi rivoluzioni della sua storia e la quarta che sta avvenendo ora. Nella maggior parte degli stati occidentali, la disillusione nei confronti del governo è diventata endemica. Stallo in America; rabbia in gran parte dell'Europa; cinismo in Gran Bretagna; legittimità in calo ovunque. La maggior parte di noi si è rassegnata al fatto che nulla cambierà mai. Ma come John Micklethwait e Adrian Wooldridge ci mostrano in questo galvanizzante libro, questa è una visione seriamente limitata delle cose. In risposta alle precedenti crisi di governo, ci sono state tre grandi rivoluzioni, che hanno portato a turno allo Stato-nazione, allo Stato liberale e allo Stato sociale. In ciascuna, Europa e America hanno dato l'esempio. Ora siamo, sostengono, nel mezzo di una quarta rivoluzione nella storia dello Stato-nazione, ma questa volta il modo occidentale rischia di essere lasciato indietro. The Fourth Revolution porta la crisi in piena vista e indica il nostro futuro. Gli autori hanno avuto uno straordinario accesso a personaggi e forze influenti in tutto il mondo, e il libro è un tour globale degli innovatori. Le linee del fronte sono nell'Asia orientata alla Cina, dove gli esperimenti di capitalismo diretto dallo Stato e modernizzazione autoritaria hanno inaugurato un sorprendente periodo di sviluppo. Altre nazioni emergenti stanno producendo nuove idee sorprendenti, dal sistema di welfare basato sul trasferimento di denaro condizionale del Brasile all'applicazione di tecniche di produzione di massa negli ospedali da parte dell'India. Questi governi non hanno affatto fatto tutto bene, ma hanno abbracciato lo spirito di riforma attiva e reinvenzione che in passato ha fornito gran parte del vantaggio comparativo dell'Occidente. La gara non è solo di efficienza, ma di vedere quali valori politici trionferanno nel ventunesimo secolo: i valori liberali di democrazia e libertà o i valori autoritari di comando e controllo. Il centro di gravità si sta spostando rapidamente e la posta in gioco non potrebbe essere più alta.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What is the state actually for? This remarkable book describes the three great revolutions in its history, and the fourth which is happening nowIn most of the states of the West, disillusion with government has become endemic. Gridlock in America; anger in much of Europe; cynicism in Britain; decreasing legitimacy everywhere. Most of us are resigned to the fact that nothing is ever going to change. But as John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge show us in this galvanizing book, this is a seriously limited view of things. In response to earlier crises in government, there have been three great revolutions, which have brought about in turn the nation-state, the liberal state and the welfare state. In each, Europe and America have set the example. We are now, they argue, in the midst of a fourth revolution in the history of the nation-state, but this time the Western way is in danger of being left behind.The Fourth Revolution brings the crisis into full view and points towards our future. The authors have enjoyed extraordinary access to influential figures and forces the world over, and the book is a global tour of the innovators. The front lines are in Chinese-oriented Asia, where experiments in state-directed capitalism and authoritarian modernization have ushered in an astonishing period of development. Other emerging nations are producing striking new ideas, from Brazil's conditional cash-transfer welfare system to India's application of mass-production techniques in hospitals. These governments have not by any means got everything right, but they have embraced the spirit of active reform and reinvention which in the past has provided so much of the West's comparative advantage.The race is not just one of efficiency, but one to see which political values will triumph in the twenty-first century- the liberal values of democracy and freedom or the authoritarian values of command and control. The centre of gravity is shifting quickly, and the stakes could not be higher. Describing the three great revolutions in the history, this book brings the crisis into full view and points towards our future.
