REFRAME: HOW TO SOLVE THE WORLD’S TRICKIEST PROBLEMS
Book ID/图书代码: 01899511B48870
English Summary/英文概要: How to solve the world’s trickiest problems – terrorism, climate change, financial insanity and more.
In the tradition of Freakonomics and The Tipping Point, Reframe brings a fresh perspective to our toughest political problems. This is a book by a young Australian thinker that turns conventional thinking on its head.
Why can’t we eliminate terrorism by killing terrorists? Why can’t we resolve immigration tensions by building higher fences? Why can’t we learn anything about climate change by talking about the weather? And what do fishermen in Turkey have to teach us about international relations?
Economics consultant and Rhodes scholar Eric Knight explains how a change of focus can reveal a solution that was lying just outside your frame of vision.
This is an optimistic, lucid, original book by a literary star in the making.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 繼《蘋果橘子經濟學》及《引爆趨勢》後又一不同觀點角度,讓人能從混亂又難以捉摸的問題中找到一個全新的解決方法! 為什麼恐怖主義不會因恐怖分子的死亡而消失呢?為什麼偷渡移民的問題無法用隔絕的方式或建築更高的圍籬而解決呢?為什麼我們無法從談論天氣的概況瞭解氣候因何變遷呢?從土耳其的漁夫身上我們能學到什麼樣的「國際關係」呢?
經濟顧問及羅德學者(Rhodes scholar)Eric Knight將在書中以一個跳脫制式思維框架的全新觀點,為這些全球最難解的問題提供一個全新的解決方法。(Vincent)
