富人逃离、穷人挤公交:我们在爆发时如何因不平等的社会而失败[Audiobook]
How can we make society more resilient to outbreaks and avoid forcing the poor and working class to bear the brunt of their harm? When an epidemic outbreak occurs, the most physical and financial harm historically falls upon the people who can least afford it: the economically and socially marginalized. Where people live and work, how they commute and socialize, and more have a huge impact on the risks we bear during an outbreak. In The Rich Flee and the Poor Take the Bus, economist Troy Tassier examines examples ranging from the 430 BCE plague of Athens to the COVID-19 pandemic to demonstrate why marginalized groups bear the largest burden of epidemic costs--and how to avoid these systemic failures in the future. The links between epidemics and social issues such as inequality, discrimination, and financial insecurity are not always direct or clear. Tassier reveals truths hidden in plain sight, from the way population density statistics can be misleading to the often-misunderstood differences between risk and uncertainty. The disproportionate harm experienced by marginalized individuals is not the product of their own decisions; instead, the collective choices of society and the tangled web of interactions across people and communities leave these groups most exposed to the perils of epidemics. However, there is reason to hope. Utilizing a wealth of economic and population data, Tassier argues that we can leverage lessons learned from historic and recent outbreaks to design better economic and social policies and more just institutions to protect everyone in society when inevitable future epidemics arrive.
如何使社会更具抗击流行病的能力,并避免迫使穷人和工人阶级承担其影响的最大负担?历史上,流行病爆发时最严重的身体和经济损失往往落在那些经济和社会边缘化的群体身上。人们居住和工作的地方、他们通勤和社交的方式等都对我们在流行病期间所承担的风险有着巨大影响。在《富人逃离而穷人乘车》中,经济学家特里·塔西尔(Troy Tassier)通过从430 BCE的雅典瘟疫到2019冠状病毒大流行的例子来证明:边缘化群体往往承担着最大的流行病成本——以及如何在未来避免这些系统性失败。 流行病与诸如不平等、歧视和财务不确定等社会问题之间的联系并不总是直接或明确的。塔西尔揭示了那些表面上容易看到的事实,从人口密度统计数据可能误导到风险与不确定性之间经常被误解的区别。边缘化群体所遭受的不成比例的危害并非他们自己的决定所致;相反,这些群体因社会集体选择和人们与社群间错综复杂的相互作用而处于流行病风险的最大暴露之中。然而,仍存在希望。利用大量经济和人口数据,塔西尔认为我们可以从历史和最近的流行病中汲取经验教训,设计出更好的经济和社会政策,并构建出更加公正的社会机构,以保护社会中的每个人在不可避免的未来流行病到来时。
