书籍简介：

We know that power is shifting: From West to East and North to South, from presidential palaces to public squares, from once formidable corporate behemoths to nimble startups and, slowly but surely, from men to women. But power is not merely shifting and dispersing. It is also decaying. Those in power today are more constrained in what they can do with it and more at risk of losing it than ever before. In "The End of Power," award-winning columnist and former "Foreign Policy" editor Moises Naim illuminates the struggle between once-dominant megaplayers and the new micropowers challenging them in every field of human endeavor. Drawing on provocative, original research, Naim shows how the antiestablishment drive of micropowers can topple tyrants, dislodge monopolies, and open remarkable new opportunities, but it can also lead to chaos and paralysis. Naim deftly covers the seismic changes underway in business, religion, education, within families, and in all matters of war and peace. Examples abound in all walks of life: In 1977, eighty-nine countries were ruled by autocrats while today more than half the world's population lives in democracies. CEO's are more constrained and have shorter tenures than their predecessors. Modern tools of war, cheaper and more accessible, make it possible for groups like Hezbollah to afford their own drones. In the second half of 2010, the top ten hedge funds earned more than the world's largest six banks combined. Those in power retain it by erecting powerful barriers to keep challengers at bay. Today, insurgent forces dismantle those barriers more quickly and easily than ever, only to find that they themselves become vulnerable in the process. Accessible and captivating, Naim offers a revolutionary look at the inevitable end of power–and how it will change your world.

书友短评：

@ 昆吾君 技术使得权利正在从少数人转向大众，传统的国家机器越来越无力。果真如此？ 这是好还是坏？ @ 越越 读过中文版，才想起这个… @ keren 我觉得是过誉了，但用权力越发分散、政治体制革命势在必行的论点去思考未来，可能对职业规划有些帮助？ @ 渡边彻 Giving twisted examples to enforce the acceptance of your opinions? @ 安德 并不包含有洞见的见解，文笔还差得很，严格说跟正经论文水准差距很大。 @ MlleHui I can easily relate it to my daily life in Business, while not exactly that the power is ending, it is somehow diminishing, although this book covers a much more comprehensive horizon and structure. @ keren 我觉得是过誉了，但用权力越发分散、政治体制革命势在必行的论点去思考未来，可能对职业规划有些帮助？ @ 越越 读过中文版，才想起这个… @ 粒粒卷 好像不是这个版本，全书篇幅过长，有很多重复部分，以举例为主，领域集中在社会政治领域，商业领域较少。全文观点就一个，权利越来越好获得，却越来越难维持，中国一句老话就概括了，江山易得，不易守。有一点对权利的概括倒不错，权利的影响方式：武力、利益、影响力、游说。 @ 渡边彻 Giving twisted examples to enforce the acceptance of your opinions?
