Beyond the Crash: Overcoming the First Crisis of Globalization by Gordon Brown （英国财长新作） 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

The international financial crisis that has held our global

economy in its grip for too long still seems to be in full stride.

Former British Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer

Gordon Brown believes the crisis can be reversed, but that the

world’s leaders must work together if we are to avoid a decade of

lost jobs and low growth.

Brown speaks both as someone who was in the room driving

discussions that led to some crucial decisions and as an expert

renowned for his remarkable financial acumen. No one who had

Brown’s access has written about the crisis yet, and no one has

written so convincingly about what the global community must do

next in order to climb out of this abyss. Brown outlines the

shocking recklessness and irresponsibility of the banks that he

believes contributed to the depth and breadth of the crisis. As he

sees it, the crisis was brought on not simply by technical

failings, but by ethical failings too. Brown argues that markets

need morals and suggests that the only way to truly ensure that the

world economy does not flounder so badly again is to institute a

banking constitution and a global growth plan for jobs and

justice.

Beyond the Crash puts forth not just an explanation for

what happened, but a directive for how to prevent future financial

disasters. Long admired for his grasp of economic issues, Brown

describes the individual events that he believes led to the crisis

unfolding as it did. He synthesizes the many historical precedents

leading to the current status, from the 1933 London conference of

world leaders that failed to resolve the Great Depression to the

more recent crash in the Asian housing market. Brown’s analysis is

of paramount importance during these uncertain financial times.

As Brown himself said of his ideas for the future, “We now live

in a world of global trade, global financial flows, global

movements of people, and instant global communications. Our

economies are connected as never before, and I believe that global

economic problems require global solutions and global institutions.

In writing my analysis of the financial crisis, I wanted to help

explain how we got here, but more important, to offer some

recommendations as to how the next stage of globalization can be

managed so that the economy works for people and not the other way

around.”##

***

The crisis exposed the contradiction of globalization

itself: as economies have become more interconnected,

regulators and governments have failed to keep pace and increase

coordination. It is a failure intrinsic to unregulated global

markets, an instability that resulted from the manner in which

increasing flows of capital around the world happened and impacted

the economy. And it is a failure of collective action at an

international level to respond quickly enough to the structural

imbalances and inequities that arose.

At its simplest, then, this is the first true crisis of

globalization. For the first time everybody, from the richest

person in the richest city to the poorest person in the poorest

slum, was affected by the same crisis. Although its roots are

global, its impact is local, directly felt on nearly every main

street, on nearly every shop floor, around nearly every kitchen

table.

Billions of people around the world are in need of and are

demanding a better globalization. It is the nature of power that

you always leave tasks unfinished when you leave office. It is the

nature of politics that the argument must continue. This book is my

warning of a decade of lost growth and my answer to that fear with

a call for a better globalization. It is an explanation of a

pattern in the numbers that points to an enormous opportunity to

alleviate poverty, create jobs, and grow. A future of low growth,

high unemployment, decline, and decay is not inevitable; it’s about

the change we choose.

  Gordon Brown served as British Prime Minister and leader

of the Labour Party from 2007 to 2010. He served as Chancellor

of the Exchequer from 1997 to 2007, making him the longest-serving

Chancellor in modern history. Brown's time as Chancellor was marked

by major reform of Britain's monetary and fiscal policy and

sustained investment in health, education, and overseas aid.

As Prime Minister, his tenure coincided with the recent financial

crisis, and he was one of the first to initiate calls for global

financial action; his administration also simultaneously introduced

a range of rescue measures within the country. Brown has a Ph.D. in

History from the University of Edinburgh, and he spent his early

career working as a television journalist. He has been a Member of

Parliament since 1983. He is married to Sarah Brown, a charity

campaigner, and the couple has two young sons.

  观点不甚新鲜，叙述十分流畅。读了这本小书，对布朗“成功财相失败首相”的人设有了更直观的感受。布朗在财相位置上的成功和在首相位置上的失败，大概不只是时来运去的结果，也和他自己更深层次的政治风格有关。布朗关于全球化时代增强全球合作以应对经济危机的建议，对照后来发生的英国脱欧与川普当选来看，有种莫名奇妙的反讽。这也再一次让我觉得，在一个没有电视和互联网的时代，布朗一定会是个更伟大的首相。但是，在我们生活的这个浮华年代，布朗的政治生命注定是一个悲剧。

• 梅党的意义

  作者：谢二 发布时间：2019-09-04 15:27:13

  《说说梅党》一文分剖详密，作者可谓深知民国历史与梨园典故，我读了很长见识。网络上文章转载大都不注明来源，这是无德的行为。我花了点时间查了查，此文应该来自“民为贵四世”的微博。民国名角大都有“党”，此“党”非政党，而是一种名人雅士自然结成的捧角儿的圈子，源头可上溯自清朝中晚期盛行的对京剧的狂热以及兴起的捧角儿的风气。

  “捧角儿的风气虽有改变，但势头未减。一些文人仕宦贤达名流对所喜爱之好角儿给与热捧，既为消遣又算雅好。其中志同道合者渐进形成圈子，由小及大而成迷党。当时坊间对于捧角儿迷党，谑称叫法流行一时。比如“痰迷”（捧谭鑫培者）、“黄病”（捧黄润甫者）、“瑶痴”（捧王瑶卿者）、“羊迷”（捧杨小楼者）、“梅毒”（迷梅至深者。“梅毒”不一定可称之“梅党”）等。“梅党”即是在此时开始形成。”

  自《齐如山回忆录》以及齐如山的著作在大陆出版，再经过陈凯歌导演的《梅兰芳》电影的推广，造成一种广泛的误解，而《说说梅党》对此予以辩驳：

  “翻检近些年的书刊、文章及影视作品，凡言及早期梅兰芳必提到齐如山，认为齐先生对梅先生的帮助影响最大，由此或把齐如山视为梅党领袖。各路方家持论所据材料多集于两点：1、齐先生给梅先生编了几十出戏。2、齐先生给梅先生说戏排身段等。笔者以为上述观点与所据材料均不够准确。首先，即便此两点成立，亦不能得出齐先生对梅先生帮助影响最大并系梅党领袖之结论。其次，上述两点多出自齐如山个人著述，属齐先生“自说”，不能作为确论。

  梅党领袖大致应符合以下条件：1、系梅党的发起人，或是具有较高威望的主要决策人。2、梅先生本人诚心认可，其他梅党成员予以承认。3、对梅先生的事业有较大襄助，且始终如一。按此三条衡量，齐先生大体仅符合第三条，且并未始终如一。笔者以为，梅党之领袖当为冯幼伟先生。”

  这个论断有梅先生自己的话作为坚强的证据。《舞台生活四十年》里，梅先生谈起自己的朋友，最推重的是冯耿光冯六爷，他的原话是：“我跟冯先生认识得最早，在我十四岁那年，就遇见了他。他是一个热诚爽朗的人，尤其对我的帮助，是尽了他最大的努力的。他不断教育我、督促我、鼓励我、支持我，直到今天还是这样，可以说是四十馀年如一日。所以我在一生的事业中，受他的影响很大，得他的帮助也最多。这大概是认识我的朋友，大家都知道的。”

  这话分量是很重的， 据“民为贵四世”的说法：冯幼伟不仅是梅党的发起人，直接参与主持梅兰芳的诸多重大事项，而且付出了极大的人财物力。所谓梅先生早期重大事项有：从朱小芬之“云和堂”脱籍赎身，进喜连成借台习戏，十七岁搭班唱戏，与前室王明华成婚，向王瑶卿等老角儿学戏，向名家学习书画，结识名流，首次赴沪，排演新戏，首次赴日，自己挑班儿，当选“四大名旦”头名，赴美演出，访问苏联，定居上海。。。。。。这些事项均由冯幼伟先生主持决策、给与襄助、提供资金。冯先生煤渣胡同及东四九条的宅院亦常让梅先生排戏及拍摄电影使用。梅兰芳自十四岁结识冯幼伟后，其生活、事业等一应诸事，尤其是梅兰芳事业的几个重要阶段，均由冯六爷把持。梅兰芳对冯幼伟格外信任和倚重，不论搭班唱戏还是生活用度结交朋友等，均听从冯六爷的意见。梅先生在二十多岁时曾说：“他人爱我而不知我，知我者其冯侯乎。”

  包括梅先生与福芝芳的第二次婚姻，是冯先生的撮合，娶孟小冬为侧室，也经过冯先生的同意，最后梅先生留福舍孟，也是冯的一句话”孟心高气傲，是人服侍；福芝芳随和大方，是服侍人“而一锤定音。梅先生是个唱戏的天才，他会的是好好做人，好好唱戏，至于其他，就得靠欣赏他的艺术的一帮朋友们--“梅党”出谋划策，出钱出力，百般成全。里面，冯先生最有力量，也最花心思。齐如山先生在法国研究过现代戏剧，回国后帮助梅先生二十年，写剧本、排戏等等，贡献当然很大，这点梅先生多次肯定，齐先生在各种著作里更是念念不忘。但论明面的恩义与支持，论内心的尊敬与信服，齐如山是无法和耿六爷相提并论的。耿先生为了梅的出国访问，自己不惜卖房卖地，过后一句不提，这种风度，也是齐如山万万做不到的。

  冯幼伟名耿光，广东人，光绪朝日本士官学校留学生，与蔡松坡、蒋百里等为同学。归国后任禁卫军标统，宣统元年（1909）任军咨府厅长。民国后历任陆军部骑兵司长、总统府顾问、中国银行总裁。这个资历，权势地位，都有。梅党除冯六爷与齐如山之外，核心成员有留日学生兼遗少李释勘、吴震修、许伯明、舒石父；出身译学馆的郭民原、张孟嘉、张庾楼、言简斋、黄秋岳。另外樊樊山、罗瘿公、易实甫、姚茫父、陈三立、陈师曾、张謇、齐白石、张大千、吴湖帆、叶恭绰等均与梅先生有较密切的交往。

  侯磊、 杨津涛的《人间不见梅葆玖 梅家再无后来人》讲梅兰芳与梅派艺术讲得极好，但其中说梅党是“艺人与旧文人结盟的先河。艺人向文人学文化，文人向艺人借平台”，我以为不太确实，因为他们拿清末民初的梅党与后来的胡适、鲁迅去比较。当时初起的梅党中坚，或者留日，或者出身译学馆，绝不可说是旧文人。准确说他们是学问亦新亦旧，多世家子弟，旧学有根基，又多留学经历，通晓世界情形。他们文化精英的色彩很浓厚。他们或者在军界有重要影响，或者在银行与实业上，或者在艺术界占据重要位置。他们都热爱祖国文化，热爱京剧艺术，也都认为与接受京剧必须改良跟上世界潮流。他们极欣赏梅兰芳的人格与艺术，以为其为中国文化艺术的中心人物。故不惜精力与代价，帮助扶持其成长。或者在经济上大力支持，或者在学识上予以指点，或者在艺术上加以拓展。梅派能亦新亦旧，传承中发展，移步不换形；能形成中正典雅，博采众长的艺术风格；成为三大戏剧体系之一，这和梅党是分不开的。梅兰芳与梅党，是戏曲艺术家与文化、经济界部分精英的联盟，没有文化的滋养、经济上的支持，梅派是不足以获得如此巨大的成功的。

  当然是梅兰芳先生的人格与艺术，吸引了梅党；但另一方面，也是有了这些学养、艺术鉴赏力极高的梅党，梅兰芳才可能广泛吸收中国文化的精华，拥有世界的眼光，产生文化的追求，通过自己的不懈的努力，没有辜负梅党的期望，不但极大地推进、改进和丰富了京剧艺术，而且为中国文化自立民族之林做出了自己的贡献。

  梅党看着与当下粉丝团似乎很类似，但其成员学养、地位、品味之高尚，立意、追求的纯粹，寄托的深远，是现在的粉丝团不能梦想的。京剧是中国戏曲文化的集大成者，梅兰芳是京剧的最重要的艺术家，扶持梅兰芳，不仅仅是扶持与关爱他这个人，而是扶持以他为代表的我国文化的极重要的部分。这才是梅党存在的意义与价值。

• 冲击之后的反思

  作者：猫哥 发布时间：2011-09-20 23:25:31

  布朗是学历史的，却当了财相，而且一当就是十年，最后不耐烦了，造了反，当了首相。三年后黯然离席。回头看，这辈子最成功的，还是当财相那十年。

  布朗是工党中偏传统一路的，但新工党的建设，他功不可没，特别是赋予英格兰银行独立地位，改革英国税制，严格限制公共开支，并在金融危机爆发后，第一时间采取接管私立银行、实施经济刺激政策等，一定程度上避免英国陷入更深的危机。

  布朗一直对银行自律保持警觉，金融危机爆发前，还与保尔森共同主持了应对银行倒闭风潮的沙盘推演。无奈现实中的金融危机规模太大、速度太快，他已无能为力。

  布朗将这次金融危机称作全球化的第一次危机，认为只有通过全球合作，实现经济平衡，才能避免类似危机重演。同时，他认为不能对市场放任自流，市场也必须和政府一样，置于道德约束和监管之下。

  以布朗的个性，《冲击之后》注定不会成为一本畅销书，但它是第一部由一位有见地的领导人写的关于金融危机的书。读读不会后悔。
