As an angel investor in start-up companies and a sometime philanthropist, I have the luxury of traveling the world and talking with articulate people who give me an unofficial, clear-eyed view of how most countries actually work. It is a depressing picture.
作为一名天使投资者以及业余慈善家，我有幸能够环游世界，并因此从一些头脑清晰辩才无碍的人口中得知一些关于大多数国家究竟如何运行的非官方观点。结论让人颇为失望。我大概去过70多个国家，也因此听说了70多种把事情搞砸的方式。
