“真正的美國”…… "Martin Chuzzlewit"這本小說很厚，有中譯本。Peter Drucker 在回憶錄“旁觀者……”提到作者出版十餘年之後，為書中描寫的美國選舉時的土製popularist諷刺過度“抱歉”……作者是先知，寫出至2024年選舉揭曉的“真正的美國”……
美國進入唐納川普定義的新政治時代
一位《紐約時報》分析師寫道，2012 年的總統競選結束了美國政治的一種模式，此後以川普的民粹主義為特徵。
U.S. Enters a New Political Era, Defined by Donald Trump
The presidential race in 2012 ended a pattern in U.S. politics, which has since become characterized by Mr. Trump’s populism, a Times analyst writes.
《馬丁·查茲勒維特》是查爾斯·狄更斯於1843 年至1844 年連載的一部小說。和救贖等主題。
故事以年輕建築師馬丁·查茲勒維特 (Martin Chuzzlewit) 為中心，由於自私行為，他被富有的祖父（也叫馬丁·查茲勒維特）剝奪了繼承權。小說對比了兩個Chuzzlewits的命運：尋求道德救贖和個人成長的馬丁，以及貪婪和腐敗的表弟喬納斯，導致他走上犯罪和絕望的道路。
狄更斯用豐富的人物諷刺了社會的各個層面，包括虛偽、貪婪和對財富的追求。著名人物包括賽斯·佩克斯尼夫（Seth Pecksniff），一位自私自利、假裝善良的建築師，以及莫爾德先生（Mr. Mould），一位從他人的死亡中獲利的喪葬承辦人。敘事充滿幽默和社會評論，展現了狄更斯對人性的敏銳觀察。
小說還有一個次要情節，涉及馬丁去美國旅行，在那裡他遇到了文化差異和當時的社會問題。這次旅程為進一步探索身份和歸屬感的主題提供了背景。
總體而言，《馬丁查茲勒維特》是一部複雜而引人入勝的作品，反映了狄更斯不斷演變的文學風格以及他對角色和道德的深入探索。它仍然是他作品的重要組成部分，因其幽默、社會批判和令人難忘的人物而受到讚賞。



大約30年前，看電影時一定漏掉許多。

這回，懂得更多：
Margaret saw their visitors to the gate. Then she returned to her husband and laid her head in his hands. He was pitiably tired. But Dolly’s remark had interested her. At last she said: “Could you tell me, Henry, what was that about Mrs. Wilcox having left me Howards End?”
Tranquilly he replied: “Yes, she did. But that is a very old story. When she was ill and you were so kind to her she wanted to make you some return, and, not being herself at the time, scribbled ‘Howards End’ on a piece of paper. I went into it thoroughly, and, as it was clearly fanciful, I set it aside, little knowing what my Margaret would be to me in the future.”
Margaret was silent. Something shook her life in its inmost recesses, and she shivered.
“I didn’t do wrong, did I?” he asked, bending down.
“You didn’t, darling. Nothing has been done wrong.”
From the garden came laughter. “Here they are at last!” exclaimed Henry, disengaging himself with a smile. Helen rushed into the gloom, holding Tom by one hand and carrying her baby on the other. There were shouts of infectious joy.
“The field’s cut!” Helen cried excitedly—“the big meadow! We’ve seen to the very end, and it’ll be such a crop of hay as never!”

今天是Peter Drucker的生日，我在昨天的紀念會上忘記說這段，補上：
Peter Drucker 認為 Howards End 一書是 E. M. Forster (1879-1970)的小說中最偉大的，也是20世紀最細緻的英國散文作品。它可以作為英國階級系統的寓言；書中可見維繫社會的禮儀已開始瓦解了。小說中提到的德國表兄妹雖從未露面，但他們的醜陋、驕慢和目中無人的優越感卻是籠罩全書的陰影。 ({旁觀者的時代}，頁253)

 Forster's genius was quiet; Howard's End, E. M. Forster's classic 1910

Both as a writer and as a moralist, E.M. Forster regarded the exploration of abstract forms and ideas as dubious, valuing messy humanity instead. Some regarded this as woolly thinking—a famous Cambridge critic, F.R. Leavis, believed his lectures were characterised by “intellectual nullity”. But the novelist—who died on June 7th 1970—was covertly sophisticated



Unlike others of his generation, Forster's genius was quiet

"She lay under the earth now. She had gone, and as if to make her going the more bitter, had gone with a touch of mystery that was all unlike her."
—from HOWARDS END (1910) by E.M. Forster


“The tragedy of preparedness has scarcely been handled, save by the Greeks. Life is indeed dangerous, but not in the way morality would have us believe. It is indeed unmanageable, but the essence of it is not a battle. It is unmanageable because it is a romance, and its essence is romantic beauty.”
―from HOWARDS END (sic) by E.M. Forster
"I do like Christmas on the whole.... In its clumsy way, it does approach Peace and Goodwill. But it is clumsier every year."
~from "Howard's End" by E.M. Forster




First published in 1910, Howards End is the novel that earned E. M. Forster recognition as a major writer. At its heart lie two families—the wealthy and business-minded Wilcoxes and the cultured and idealistic Schlegels. When the beautiful and independent Helen Schlegel begins an impetuous affair with the ardent Paul Wilcox, a series of events is sparked—some very funny, some very tragic—that results in a dispute over who will inherit Howards End, the Wilcoxes' charming country home.

As much about the clash between individual wills as the clash between the sexes and the classes, Howards End is a novel whose central tenet, “Only connect,” remains a powerful prescription for modern life.

Howards End (1910) is an ambitious "condition-of-England" novel concerned with different groups within the Edwardian middle classes represented by the Schlegels (bohemian intellectuals), the Wilcoxes (thoughtless plutocrats) and the Basts (struggling lower-middle-class aspirants).
It is frequently observed that characters in Forster's novels die suddenly. This is true of Where Angels Fear to Tread, Howards End and, most particularly, The Longest Journey.

著名的小說就叫"Howard's End"(中文譯本叫做《綠苑春濃》，聯經，1992；
《此情可問天》，業強，1992)，書名中的Howard是姓氏，End是宅第的名稱，通常位置在一條街道的盡頭， ...

    電影情節已忘 One of the best Ismail Merchant/James Ivory films, this adaptation of E. M. Forster's classic 1910 novel shows in careful detail the injuriously rigid British class consciousness of the early 20th century. The film's catalyst is "poor relation" Margaret Schlegel (Emma Thompson), who inherits part of the estate of Ruth Wilcox (Vanessa Redgrave), an upper-class woman whom she had befriended. The film's principal characters are divided by caste: aristocratic industrial Henry Wilcox (Anthony Hopkins); middle-echelon Margaret and her sister Helen (Helena Bonham Carter); and working-class clerk Leonard Bast (Sam West) and his wife (Nicola Duffett). The personal and social conflicts among these characters ultimately result in tragedy for Bast and disgrace for Wilcox, but the film's wider theme remains the need, in the words of the novel's famous epigram, to "only connect" with other people, despite boundaries of gender, class, or petty grievance. Filmed on a proudly modest budget, Howards End offers sets, spectacles, and costumes as lavish as in any historical epic. Nominated for 9 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, the film took home awards for Thompson as Best Actress, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's adapted screenplay, and Luciana Arrighi's art direction. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

     “If Peter Drucker is responsible for legitimizing the field of management and Tom Peters for popularizing it, then Charles Handy should be known as the person who gave it a philosophical elegance and eloquence that was missing from the field,” Mr. Bennis, who died in 2014, told Strategy & Business.

    Mr. Fisman is a professor of economics at Boston University.

    The fact that President-elect Donald Trump has tapped two businessmen — Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy — to lead an advisory commission focused on streamlining government operations suggests that these efficiencies will come from making the government run more like a business. In 2017, when he was a White House adviser, Jared Kushner, who now runs a private equity firm, made a similar pitch that business thinking would help to “achieve successes and efficiencies for our customers, who are the citizens.”.....

    Deming和Drucker 都很重視勞工在工作中的疏離與工作尊嚴問題。
    Drucker 更早探討此一問題。他還說美英在第二次世界大戰時，可以對流動到各大廠的工人曉以大義/愛國之心，從而賦予流水線裝配工作等"意義".....。可是，戰後大公司又想恢復戰前對工人工作的"完全掌權"做法與心態。


    中國經濟陷困境產業勞工度日難

    中國經濟遭遇數十年未遇的艱難時刻。而與此同時，一份調查數據顯示，製造業工人罷工抗爭事件日益頻繁上演。勞工成為中國經濟下滑的最大受害者？
    Produktion von Adidas Sportbekleidung in China
    （德國之聲中文網）進出口疲軟、經濟增速放緩，最近一段時間以來，要找一條有關中國經濟的令人振奮的消息並不容易。尤其是長期支撐中國出口的製造業面臨嚴峻局面。
    一份最新公佈的報告似乎從另一個角度進一步確認了這一趨勢。位於香港的勞工權益組織"中國勞工通訊"近日發表報告稱，中國第三季度製造工人抗爭事件數量創下年內新高。從7月到9月，共發生593起罷工或抗議活動，其中製造業219起，超過第一季度（164起）和第二季度（198起）。

    DW.CO​​M

    "中國勞工通訊"傳媒總監克羅塞爾（Geoffrey Crothall）對德國之聲表示，所有數據都來自於中國內部的社交媒體報導，包括工人、公民記者以及觀察人士發布的信息："我們無法精確核實每一個細節，但是我們很有信心認為，這些事件的基本情況，比如工人的訴求、參與的工人數量、地點等等的真實性。"
    製造業不景氣增加勞資糾紛
    "近階段製造業工人抗爭頻發"的說法得到了民間組織深圳市春風勞動爭議服務部的負責人張治儒的確認。他認為，除了工人維權意識提高的因素之外，經濟蕭條引發工廠搬遷和倒閉浪潮，導致勞動爭議增加。
    以珠三角地區為代表的廣東省製造業原本在中國處於龍頭地位，但由於勞動力成本的增加，不少企業或者關門大吉，或者是向中國內地或東南亞地區國家轉移。而這也使得廣東地區的工人不滿尤為嚴重。根據"中國勞工通訊"的統計，今年第三季度，廣東地區的產業工人抗爭事件高達59起，遠遠超過其他省份。
    "很顯然，中國製造業下滑是罷工增加的一個重要因素。許多走上街頭舉行抗議的勞工，是因為沒有拿到工資，或者他們的工廠關閉、搬遷，他們卻沒有得到足夠的補償"，克羅塞爾解釋道。
    根據"中國勞工通訊"的數據，第三季度的罷工事件中，超過三分之一都發生在製造業企業。而中國製造業勞工恰恰是所謂"農民工"群體的主要組成部分。中國國家統計局的數據顯示，2014年製造業農民工比例占到總數的31.3%，為各行業之首。
    勞資雙方的力量平衡
    為了提高工人待遇，減少勞資糾紛，中國政府也制定了一些相應措施。10月初，24個城市上調最​​低工資標準，其中製造業集中的深圳及廣東分別以每月2030元和1895年排在第一和第三位。"中國勞工通訊"的克羅塞爾認為，上調後的最低工資標準仍然稱不上令人滿意，"而且問題的關鍵還不僅是工資水平，而是總體工作條件以及中國工廠裡勞資雙方之間的力量平衡。"
    克羅塞爾認為，儘管中國官方的中華全國總工會並不真正代表工人利益，但一些工人和維權人士正在嘗試由下而上的改變工會："他們嘗試在工廠一級的工會組織中更為積極活躍。向地方工會組織施加壓力，要求他們真正代表和捍衛工人的利益。"
    Streik in einer Schuhfabrik in Dongguan
    去年4月東莞某鞋廠工人罷工（資料圖片）
    但是，勞工維權人士指出，在經濟環境惡劣的情況下，草根組織的活動也受到了更大的限制和影響。深圳市春風勞動爭議服務部的負責人張治儒表示，經濟形勢較好時，地方政府對工人維權還是有一定的寬容，如果經濟條件不好，政府便會壓制工人維權行動和訴求："有關部門會給我們警告，或者給房東打招呼，不讓我們租房辦公。有一些活動會受到干預，給工人提供一些維權服務的時候， 一方面乾預我們，一方面乾預工人，他們找到工人，讓工人解除對我們的委託，不讓工人與我們接觸。"
    官方壓制民間工人維權運動，但中國製造業的頹勢卻不會因此而得到扼制。最新數據顯示，中國採購經理指數（PMI）​​連續7個月處於50以下的收縮水平。今年9月PMI終值更是降到47.2。而這一趨勢的具體表現為"訂單減少，企業降低產量和價格以及削減工作崗位的速度加快。"
