De verwaarlozing van familie en gemeenschapsbanden en het gebruik van strafrechtelijke sancties als laatste middel tegen ineenstorting hand in hand Gray stelt dat religieus fundamentalisme en groen optimisme als antwoord op het huidige wereldwijde crisis minder kans op succes hebben dan intelligent improviseren Maar realistisch denken ligt niet in de menselijke aard Wonen in een denkbeeldige toekomst is gemakkelijker dan het hoofd bieden aan het weerbarstige heden VerschillenEen mondiale vrijemarkteconomie veronderstelt dat economische modernisering overal hetzelfde betekent westers kapitalisme.

False dawns Economic analysis is important but not to me incredibly interesting The book is prescient in some places but written before 9 11 or the 2008 crash it s also out of date 272 Pada awalnya saya membaca buku ini membingungkan tetapi akhirnya saya memahaminya Apa yang benar benar diinginkan Gray adalah menghentikan banyak hal agar tidak berubah beliau ingin memastikan kemajuan ekonomi terjadi untuk tatanan sosial yang lebih stabil Tetapi kebanyakan orang dihadapkan dengan ketidakyakinan hanya berpikir ke pakaian yang nyaman yang dipakai dan bahwa masyarakat sudah memiliki cukup materi Gray melihat pasar bebas bagaimanapun juga buruk untuk beberapa kemajuan dan perubahan di dunia ini. False down syndrome diagnosis Buku ini juga melihat bahwa sistem ekonomi global tidak bermoral tidak adil tidak dapat dijalankan dan tidak stabil Gray mengatakan bahwa gerakan menuju pasar bebas barang dan ide bukanlah proses yang terjadi secara alami melainkan sebuah proyek politik yang bertumpu pada kekuatan Amerika Membaca buku ini membuka wawasan ttg ekonomi global yang terjadi di era ini 272 9 20 272 In this dense and dull read Gray puts forward the idea that global free markets are an ideology based on faith without any redeeming feature and that the implementation of free markets is irreversible This early work from Gray is not as clean and fresh as his later philosophical works False Dawn suffers from the academic language and also from Gray s tendency to declare a fact without supporting it with example or evidence I wasn t able to finish the book but skimming the pages ahead of where I finished showed the relentless dense prose continued 272 Prophetic 272 Hailed by Kirkus Reviews as both a convincing analysis of an international economy headed for disaster and a powerful challenge to economic orthodoxy False Dawn shows that the attempt to impose the Anglo American style free market on the world will create a disaster possibly on the scale of Soviet communism Even America the supposed flagship of the new civilization risks moral and social disintegration as it loses ground to other cultures that have never forgotten that the market works best when it is embedded in society John Gray well known in the 1980s as an important conservative political thinker whose writings were relied upon by Margaret Thatcher and the New Right in Britain has concluded that the conservative agenda is no longer viable In his examination of the ripple effects of the economic turmoil in Russia and Asia on our collective future Gray provides one of the most passionate polemics against the utopia of the free market since Carlyle and Marx False Dawn The Delusions of Global CapitalismErudiet pleidooi voor economische pluriformiteit en regulering van vrijhandel door overheden en transnationale organisaties John Gray is emeritus hoogleraar Europese idee ngeschiedenis say what aan de London School of Economics die zou er wat vanaf moeten weten bedoel ik maar VervalDe kern van Grays betoog is dat mondiale vrijhandel niet bloeit maar in verval is Hij betoogt dat de VS en de EU in verval zijn Terwijl ik dit boek lees vindt er weer een schietpartij op een school in de VS plaats dader is een jongen van 18 die overleeft het niet samen met meer dan 20 lagere scholieren die hij in zijn razernij doodschiet En nog verdedigt de republikeinse politiek particulier wapenbezit en wijst links Amerika naar de wapenindustrie Is dit een incident als gevolg van te grote persoonlijke vrijheid is dit opportunisme van industrie en elite of is dit n van de tekenen van het verval waar Gray op duidt Onstabiel kapitalisme Al in het voorwoord doet Gray opmerkelijke uitspraken Regeringen mogen dan beter ge nformeerd zijn dan ooit tevoren ze zijn niet verstandiger geworden En Het kapitalisme mag dan het meest productieve economische systeem zijn dat tot dusverre is ontwikkeld het is altijd bijzonder instabiel geweest En Niets wijst erop dat we onvermijdelijk afstevenen op een oorlog tussen de grootmachten wat met de inval van Rusland in Oekra ne en de toenemende geopolitieke spanning rond China en Taiwan en de Zuid Chinese zee wel het geval blijkt Van de grote mogendheden de VS China India Japan en Rusland zijn alleen de VS westers en bovendien sterk in verval Het sterk uitgebreide Europa is onderling zo verdeeld dat het op het wereldtoneel geen rol van betekenis meer speelt RuslandIk lees de uitgave van 2009 In het voorwoord verwoordt Gray

gevaarlijk voor onderzoeksjournalisten oliestaat met de verwachting van stijgende olieprijzen wegens toenemende mondiale industrialisatie wat Gray benoemt als de kern van globalisering Intelligent improviserenVolgens Gray gaan vrijemarkteconomie de Amerikaanse vrijemarkteconomie In werkelijkheid verschillen bijvoorbeeld Japans Chinees geleid door de centrale partij Russisch anarchistisch met oligarchen kapitalisme van het Amerikaanse Paradox economische globalisering ondermijnt globaal laissez faire vrije handel vanwege de ongelijke ontwikkeling van samenlevingen in de wereld en de sociale en politieke tegenbeweging die dat veroorzaakt De huidige wereldwijde vrijemarkteconomie ontbeert politieke beteugeling waardoor er geen evenwicht ontstaat Nationale markten worden gereguleerd door nationale overheden maar voor internationale markten bestaan die niet die worden gereguleerd door transnationale organisaties zoals de World Trade Organization Mondiale vrijhandel leidt tot een geopolitieke strijd over schaarse natuurlijke hulpbronnen. False dawn book Maar twee ideologie n Na WO2 leek de wereld verdeeld in twee ideologie n liberalisme en sovjetmarxisme Met het uiteen vallen van de sovjet unie leek het liberalisme te hebben gewonnen Helaas is de werkelijkheid niet zo eenvoudig oplaaiende religies oude ethnische vijandschap territoriale strijd en nieuwe technologie n voor oorlogsvoering conflicteren met de utopie van vrede en welvaart door handel etniciteit socialisme als een economisch systeem is onherstelbaar afgebroken voor de toekomst kunnen we voorspellen dat er in de wereld niet langer twee economische systemen meer zullen zijn in het bijzonder in zijn meest uitgesproken vrijemarktvariant tasten enkele van de centrale instituties en waarden van het burgerlijke leven aan Bijvoorbeeld een carri re gebaseerd op anci nniteit is vervangen door economische onzekerheid en verminderde opwaardse sociale mobiliteit Wereldwijde mobiliteit van kapitaal en productie veroorzaakt een race naar de bodem These acht de Verenigde Staten hebben niet de macht om een universele vrijemarkteconomie tot stand te brengen red betekent niet de groei van een enkele economische beschaving Ze betekent dat er een modus vivendi gevonden moet worden tussen economische culturen die altijd verschillend zullen blijven Gray stelt dat zowel de mondiale vrijemarkteconomie als het marxistische socialisme de overtuiging hebben dat menselijke vooruitgang een enkele beschaving tot doel heeft the resource scarcity from global industrialisation is contributing to resource wars and a revival of The Great Game. Epub file download free In chapter one Gray groups together thinkers such as John Locke and Karl Marx on the basis of striving for an Enlightenment Utopia in which a diversity of cultures 272 At times it can be hard to take John Gray seriously he is prone to overstating his case stretching a well constructed and reasoned proposition to the very limits making categorical contrarian rebuttals without fleshing them out with enough substance to allow them to compete beyond mere averment and he repeats himself almost to the point of self hypnosis but when the man is on which comprises a majority of this jeremiad he is on delivering a bracing and pertinacious polemic with which I often find myself in agreement or at least strongly persuaded I am a solid supporter of a market economy I am tentative about the free market implementations that have arisen again with the advent of globalized capitalism When I see how many partisans of the free market treat it as either an economic element of natural law a free standing constituent component of the material universe that is meant to be or with the fervid zeal of an acolyte who has found a religion of production and consumption that upholds the very heavens with the purity and sanctity of its revealed dogma I become apprehensive and wary Gray provides here a firm confirmation that such apprehension and wariness are quite appropriate responses. False dawn by paul levine As anyone who has read John Gray knows the primary target for his ire is the Enlightenment by way of what he has determined to be its transmitted and unflagging belief in both the improvability of the species and the inevitability of the progression of our disparate and variegated institutions into a cohesive universal whole the entire world dipping oars in rhythmic and measured strokes as we glide smoothly towards the Big U of whatever the field in question Gray spies this Enlightenment strain within the newly arisen and spread Free Market and the Washington Consensus that upholds its implementation whenever an opening for such presents itself usually by means of the implosion of a country s economic system a crisis that allows the shock therapy of deregulation tax cutting union busting privatization and reduced wages to be grafted into place Gray repeatedly points out that the Free Market no matter what its proponents might believe or proclaim has never arisen naturally an economic evolutionary endpoint if you will but rather been a purposeful experiment in social engineering that can only be implanted by the firm and reliant hand of a strong centralized government the very thing the adherents of the Free Market believe their ideal exchange institution allows them to keep from forcing its will upon its citizens The government is required because no national populace would ever choose the Free Market on their own although it has shown itself to be a wealth creator par excellence it is very socially disruptive requiring workers to forever labor in insecurity and be prepared to uproot their family and move to where the work is the free flow of capital can hobble a business through no incompetence of its own and the manner in which technology is harnessed and implemented by its racing engines works all manner of transformative memes upon the culture and politics and familial norms of a given society What s because such a market structure encourages even thrives upon speculative finance its life cycle is ever one of great booms and inflated values preceding devastating busts that destroy a significant portion of the wealth previously amassed leaving families and communities in financial ruin History has shown that wherever this Anglo American creation has been implemented it always engenders concerted efforts to bring it to bay to increasing measures of control through regulation and reform. False dawn by paul levine Another thing that regular readers of John Gray understand is that he is a promoter of and believer in value pluralism that freedom and the good life can be realized under a variety of societal systems operating across a multitude of differing cultures that there is no need for the adoption of an American style free market liberalism by the entire globe in pursuit of some chimeric civilizational acme He writes at length about the home grown flavors of capitalism that have developed in Japan China Singapore Indonesia Chile Germany and such noting how they have adapted themselves to suit the particular realities and problems faced by each of these differing cultures What s most of Europe resolutely rejects the neo liberal marketization mania preferring their modulated forms of social democracy However when Anglo American style free markets have proliferated and are backed by the dominant global position of their chief proponent Gray posits the occurrence of an economic version of Gresham s Law wherein bad capitalism tends to drive out good capitalism that is it proves increasingly difficult for these homogenized and socialized economies to compete with the ruthless down spiral of the free market and they end up distorted and or displaced as certain free market memes are put into place It is difficult to compete in a globalized market of deregulation cheap taxes and free flowing capital and labour without adopting to their presence and this adoption will drive out the beneficial components of the infiltrated system. False dawn john gray This applies even to the original neo liberals Gray believes that a free market economy is ever evolving changing in flux altering the society in which it operates and though it produces great efficiencies and productivity levels and generates vast reams of wealth it distributes it ever unequally destroying healthy middle classes by re proletarianizing them while developing a sizable underclass of poverty level workers and the unemployed unemployable and producing an engorged criminal element housed within an expanded prison industry creating terrible wealth disparities while undermining the freedoms and rights of those not located within the relatively small group of super winners Worst of all the author holds that such free market economies are one way engines Those economic systems they have superseded or displaced the managed social democracies that arose with the welfare state cannot be returned to One Enlightenment economic philosophy Communism has had its own utopian drive and stalled out and crashed along the way Gray asserts that Capitalism Communism s Enlightenment sibling is heading down the same path and liable for the same breakdown long before its paradisiacal end goal has been glimpsed let alone reached Any attempt to implement one form of free market economy upon the nations of the world will only result in that form mutating into something unpredictably different while spreading anarchy through its creative destructive processes. False dawns Having grown up in Canada and lived here my whole adult life the free market in its American laissez faire configuration has little appeal to me to begin with I m comfortable in a regulated market economy with secure safety nets universal medical insurance and a well ordered banking system and I ve never viewed my own government which has figured prominently within and throughout Canada s economic history as some form of hostile institution mere degrees from tyranny Hell our national motto is Peace Order and Good Government and that s just fine with me What s I have little time for ideology rigidity and armchair philosophy an economic system that is pragmatic can adjust as the present situation itself changes accommodate itself to new realities bend where needed and stand firm where required that takes account of and operates within the real existing world and not some rationalized ideal where all variables can be known or accounted for that is what I favor My experience is that free market economies are risky and unstable great wealth creators and destroyers and destruction and instability are not conducive to the formation of enduring peaceful and well ordered polities They incite radicalism and resentment polarization and revolution they tear things down in order to build them back up again and the rebuilding can move in directions little anticipated Further I am agnostic on the ability of a Free Market to self regulate as its historical existence has been one where insider trading security manipulations corporate monopolies illegalities political corruption and so on have stamped their imprint firmly upon the system so it provides its wave form economic upheavals in some variety of tainted implementation even at the best of times If such is the case it only makes sense that an ordered regulation should be imposed in lieu of leaving it at the mercy of connected manipulators who will distort it in their own favor. False dawn mtg Thus much of John Gray s educated polemic appeals to me where it counts strikes me as wise and truthful and well worthy of being read and understood However I also understand that the man takes things to extremes and can be prone to overstatement and contradictory conclusions He is given to absolute statements fully at odds with his own disdain of the universal underpinnings of the Enlightenment He repeatedly avers that once the free market has been initiated it permanently relegates the system it has ousted to the ashbin of history a conviction unwarranted in the face of the unknowability of the future and the limitless potential of humanity to retool and reseed its organized systems of operation He deprecates the free market economies erected upon the United Kingdom the United States New Zealand and Mexico in the eighties and early nineties before admitting that the existing systems of managed economies were stagnant and broken and little else could have viably been implemented at the level required to reinvigorate and restart these moribund nations Like most First World critics of the globalized free market he cannot seem to grasp the concept that denizens of formerly poverty stricken and undeveloped countries may not find the risks and instability associated with a free market economy an undesirable trade off compared with the transformative increases to their living standards access to a regular supply of food and medicine educational opportunities and infrastructure developments for as Gray himself admits once the free market has worked its tendrils into the societal base and elevated it from its horizontal starting point the opportunity for harnessing its power via political reforms and regulations unique to that particular realm becomes readily available and possible With that said these are problems in his presentation that could be addressed or revised with further publication runs his core point his central opposition to the neo liberal wish to impress the free market across the globe is powerfully and clearly made and resonates strongly with this reader Prescient in several of his forecasts for how the globalized economy would play out in the new millennium Gray s voice is definitely one that should be added to those hearkened to as we try to find our way out of the current slump that has spread its shadow around the world 272 One of Cambridge Sustainability s Top 50 Books for Sustainability as voted for by our alumni network of over 3000 senior leaders from around the world To find out click here. False dawn edith wharton The underlying theme of False Dawn is that the US is deluded by its own Enlightenment thesis believing that democratic capitalism will soon be accepted throughout the world merging into a single universal free market Although multinational corporations have become allies in promoting this unified theory of a world civilisation Gray believes it is desitned for failure since it is based on the same flawed assumptions as communism In their cult of reason and efficiency their ignorance of history and their contempt for the ways of life they consign to poverty or extinction they embody the same rationalist hubris and cultural imperialism that have marked the central traditions of Enlightenment thinking throughout its history 272
