This book combines a little hard economic reasoning (including a couple formulas) with broad political/economic speculation; on both fronts it is hard for me to evaluate this book. I think the most practical takeaway for me was the distinction between economically productive education (science, engineering) and fluff education. I wish I had more of the former. There seems to be a parallel economically productive spending and fluff spending. What ever happens, USA's status in the world will change. It only remains to be seen by how much and how badly. Though it is not inevitable that it will be catastrophically bad. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Distinctions
"In How the West Was Lost, the New York Times bestselling author Dambisa Moyo offers a bold account of the decline of the economic supremacy of the West. She examines how the West's flawed financial decisions and blinkered political and military choices have resulted in an economic and geopolitical seesaw that is now poised to tip in favor of the emerging world. As Western economies hover on the brink of recession, emerging economies post double-digit growth rates. And whereas in the past, emerging economies lived and died by America's economic performance, now they look to other emerging countries to buy their goods and fuel their success. Formerly a consultant for the World Bank and an investment banker specializing in emerging markets at Goldman Sachs, Moyo daringly claims that the West can no longer afford to simply regard the up-and-comers as menacing gate-crashers. How the West Was Lost reveals not only the economic myopia of the West but also the radical solutions that it needs to adopt in order to assert itself as a global economic power once again"--

O livro é um excelente relato, simples e muito bom para introduzir a não economistas e não financeiros, os riscos e efeitos do recurso ao crédito.
A primeira parte do livro relata os últimos 50 anos do Ocidente e as suas opções económicas e geopolíticas que, na perspectiva da autora, contribuíram para a situação de decadência económica a médio prazo e para a transferência dos centros de poder para outras paragens (os BRICs - Brasil, Russia, India e China)
A segunda parte, está mais orientada para o apontar de caminhos de combater esta decadência anunciada e que se consume dentro de duas a três décadas. Muito orientado para o contexto norte-americano, é ainda assim bastante útil como leitura do nosso mundo e uma boa reflexão sobre os desafios que temos colectivamente, pela frente.
Uma boa leitura e fácil de se ler, o que é sempre de louvar, num texto deste tipo.
