Description

一百多年前的美國與現在相比，經濟更不平等、政治更加極化、社會更為分裂、公眾言論也同樣尖刻粗暴。令人訝異的是，儘管當時的人絕望地認為自己身處最糟的時代，然而一切卻開始反轉，不但沒有繼續往下坡走，反而一路向上提升，直到一九六○年代中期的高峰。在這段期間，貧富差距持續縮減，政治上的尊重合作取代抹黑攻訐，社會參與的風氣也高於私利絕對優先的心態。
 
作者普特南認為，這幾方面的發展在時間上幾乎完全同步，並非單純的巧合。他巧妙運用各種可得的資料作為衡量的指標，為經濟、政治、社會、文化，甚至種族與性別議題編製出趨勢演變的圖像，並透過細膩的敘述，解說各個領域的發展情況。
 
他認為，討論當前難題的時候，一般只關注一九六○、七○年代以來開始往下坡走的趨勢，鮮少注意到更久之前我們其實也經歷過跟現在極為相似的糟糕情況。這段歷史最具啟發性的地方在於，美國社會擺脫了惡質的「鍍金時代」，翻轉向上持續數十年。曾經深入研究美國教育與階級逐漸僵化情形的普特南，這次把眼光往前延伸，探討當年美國是如何從令人窒息的絕路當中，成功改造自己的發展軌跡。無論是對臺灣或世界各地想改善現況的國家來說，本書的故事都是相當寶貴的參照。
