《隐形地球:财富如何操控世界》[有声书]
Borders draw one map of the world; money draws another. A journalist’s riveting account exposes a parallel universe that has become a haven for the rich and powerful. A globe shows the world we think we know: neatly delineated sovereign nations that grant or restrict their citizens’ rights. Beneath, above, and tucked inside their borders, however, another universe has been engineered into existence. It consists of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate largely autonomously, and increasingly for the benefit of the wealthiest individuals and corporations. Atossa Abrahamian traces the rise of this hidden globe to thirteenth-century Switzerland, where poor cantons marketed their only commodity: bodies, in the form of mercenary fighters. Over time, economists, theorists, statesmen, and consultants evolved ever more sophisticated ways of exporting and exploiting statelessness, in the form of free trade zones, flags of convenience, offshore detention centers, charter cities controlled by foreign corporations, and even into outer space. By mapping this countergeography, which decides who wins and who loses in the new global order—and helping us to see how it might be otherwise—The Hidden Globe fascinates, enrages, and inspires.
边界画出一个世界的地图;金钱又画出了另一个。一位记者的扣人心弦的叙述揭示了一个隐藏的世界,它已成为富人和权贵们的避风港。地球仪展示着我们所认为的世界:一国之内的国家以整齐划分的权利授予或限制国民权利的方式呈现。然而,在它们的边界之下、之上以及里面,一个被设计出来的宇宙已经被建造出来了。它由成千上万的超主权区组成,大多独立运作,并且越来越多地为最富有的人和公司服务。阿诺莎·阿比安尼追踪了这个隐藏地球的兴起,追溯到十三世纪的瑞士,当时贫瘠的领地通过推销他们唯一的商品——雇佣兵的身体——来营销自己。随着时间的推移,经济学家、理论家、政客以及顾问发展出越来越复杂的出口和利用无国家状态的方式,包括自由贸易区、方便旗帜、海外拘留中心、外国企业控制的城市以及甚至延伸至外太空。通过对这种反地缘政治学进行制图,并帮助我们看到它可能是什么样子——激发并使我们着迷——《隐藏地球》令人惊异、激怒和激励。
