图书描述

What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?

"The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them.

Michael Lewis’s brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it’s not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before terrorists do.

Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it’s better never to really understand those problems. There is upside to ignorance, and downside to knowledge. Knowledge makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for a person who wishes to shrink the world to a worldview.

If there are dangerous fools in this book, there are also heroes, unsung, of course. They are the linchpins of the system―those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running. Michael Lewis finds them, and he asks them what keeps them up at night.

评分☆☆☆☆☆

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

评分☆☆☆☆☆

有点敷衍。去年Michael Lewis在名利场上写过两篇文章Why the Scariest Nuclear Threat May Be Coming from Inside the White House & Inside Trump's Cruel Campaign Against the U.S.D.A.'s Scientists，这两篇关于能源部和农业部的文章覆盖了本书2/3的内容。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

美国政治角力的本质，往往不是驴象之争，而是逐利和逐梦者之争。作者写到农业部的时候开始陷入了一种固定范式：高效部门被架空、优秀团队被罢黜、有益项目被取缔，Trump与Obama和Bush政权相比有诸多不妥。但是循规蹈矩其实未必稳妥，异于前任未必倒退，我反而觉得Trump团队最大的过错在于表象沟通时的傲慢和冷漠。一切问题都会透过沟通暴露，沟通不当，一切便都是问题。读完全书，最精华的论点在DOE一章最后，守序的邪恶与无知是第五类风险的本源，要比大众视野下的混乱善意可怕的多：牺牲长期利益，而试图通过program management填补短期的漏洞，这才是一个政治体制倒退的深层原因。

And so you might have good reason to pray for a tornado, whether it comes in the shape of swirling winds, or a politician. You imagine the thing doing the damage that you would like to see done, and no more. It’s what you fail to imagine that kills you.
