英文简介:
Many experts believe that we are at a fulcrum moment in history, a time that demands radical shifts in thinking and policymaking.
Calls for bold change are everywhere these days, particularly on social media.
But is this actually the best way to make the world a better place? In Gradual, Greg Berman and Aubrey Fox argue that, contrary to the aspirations of activists on both the right and the left, incremental reform is the best path forward.
They begin by emphasizing that the very structure of American government explicitly and implicitly favors incrementalism.
Particularly in a time of intense polarization, any effort to advance radical change will inevitably engender significant backlash.
As Berman and Fox make clear, polling shows little public support for bold change.
The public is, however, willing to endorse a broad range of incremental reforms that, if implemented, would reduce suffering and improve fairness.
To illustrate how incremental changes can add up to significant change over time, Berman and Fox provide portraits of “heroic incrementalists” who have produced meaningful reforms in a variety of areas, from the expansion of Social Security to more recent efforts to reduce crime and incarceration.
Gradual is a bracing call for a “radical realism” that prioritizes honesty, humility, nuance, and respect in an effort to transcend political polarization and reduce the conflict produced by social media.
中文简介:
许多专家认为,我们正处于历史的一个支点时刻,需要思维和政策制定发生彻底转变。
如今,大胆变革的呼声随处可见,尤其是在社交媒体上。
但这真的是让世界变得更美好的最佳方式吗?格雷格·伯曼(Greg Berman)和奥布里·福克斯(Aubrey Fox)在《渐进》一书中认为,与左右翼积极分子的愿望相反,渐进式改革是最好的前进道路。
他们首先强调美国政府的结构本身明确或隐含地支持渐进主义。
特别是在两极分化严重的时代,任何推动激进变革的努力都将不可避免地引起强烈抵制。
正如伯曼和福克斯明确指出的那样,民意调查显示公众很少支持大胆的变革。
然而,公众愿意支持广泛的渐进式改革,这些改革如果实施,将减少痛苦并提高公平性。
为了说明渐进式变革如何随着时间的推移累积起来带来重大变化,伯曼和福克斯提供了“英雄渐进主义者”的肖像,他们在各个领域进行了有意义的改革,从扩大社会保障到最近减少犯罪和监禁的努力。
渐进是对“激进现实主义”的振奋人心的呼吁,优先考虑诚实、谦逊、细微差别和尊重,以努力超越政治两极分化并减少社交媒体产生的冲突。
