《The Fifth Risk》作者：Michael Lewis【EPUB】

破卷归虚

　　内容简介
　　What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?
　　“The election happened,” remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. “And then there was radio silence.” Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them.
　　Michael Lewis’s brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it’s not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before terrorists do.
　　Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it’s better never to really understand those problems. There is upside to ignorance, and downside to knowledge. Knowledge makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for a person who wishes to shrink the world to a worldview.
　　If there are dangerous fools in this book, there are also heroes, unsung, of course. They are the linchpins of the system―those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running. Michael Lewis finds them, and he asks them what keeps them up at night.

内容简介
　　如果对我们政府的控制人不知道它是如何运作的，后果会有什么后果？
　　当时的能源部副部长伊丽莎白·舍伍德·兰德尔回忆说：“大选发生了。” “然后是无线电寂静。”在所有部门中，类似的故事都在播放：特朗普任命的人很少彼此相距甚远。那些确实出现的人对他们的新工作场所的功能感到震惊。有些人甚至扔掉了为他们准备的简报书。
　　迈克尔·刘易斯（Michael Lewis）的辉煌叙述将我们带入了由其自己的领导人攻击的政府机关。在农业中，诸如食品券和学校午餐之类的重要计划的资金正在被削减。商务部可能没有足够的员工来正确进行2020年的人口普查。在管理国际核风险的能源上，尚不清楚会有足够的检查员在恐怖分子之前跟踪和找到黑市铀。
　　故意无知在这些迫在眉睫的灾难中发挥了作用。如果您的野心是在不考虑长期成本的情况下最大化短期收益，那么您最好不知道这些费用。如果您想保留个人对严重问题的免疫力，最好不要真正理解这些问题。无知和知识的缺点是有益的。知识使生活变得更加混乱。对于希望将世界缩小到世界观的人来说，这使它变得更加困难。
　　如果这本书中有危险的傻瓜，当然也有英雄。他们是系统的关键人物：这些公务员的知识，奉献精神和积极性使机械运转。迈克尔·刘易斯（Michael Lewis）找到了他们，他问他们是什么让他们在晚上保持起来。
