Sir Norman Angell , The Great Illusion 1909到Visiting the Most Important Company in the World, Jan. 24, 2024,

Sir Norman Angell 的 The Great Illusion 一書，影響胡適之先生頗大，參考其"口述自傳"

今天，2024.1.25 紐約時報下文題到它：

I’m as skeptical of this argument as I am of the notion that China will invade Taiwan to grab T.S.M.C. The silicon shield reminds me of the 1909 best-selling book “The Great Illusion,” which was translated into 25 languages and predicted that Europe was so economically interdependent that warfare was obsolete. World War I and World War II killed its sales.

我對這一論點持懷疑態度，就像我對中國將入侵台灣奪取台積電的觀點持懷疑態度一樣。 矽盾讓我想起 1909 年的暢銷書《偉大的幻覺》，這本書被翻譯成 25 種語言，並預言歐洲在經濟上如此相互依賴，戰爭已經過時了。 第一次世界大戰和第二次世界大戰扼殺了它的銷售。google

哈哈："......考慮到轉移生產的難度，保障晶片製造的最佳方法可能是比以往更加努力地阻止和避免台海戰爭。 更多相關內容請參考即將發表的專欄。"~~紐約時報OPINION

This is Steven Camley's interpretation of the lead up to World War One.

It refers to a 1913 text by Norman Angell, in which he argues that nations understood that war was pointless and therefore unlikely to happen:

"...military power is socially and economically futile, and can have no relation to the prosperity of the people exercising it; that it is impossible for one nation to seize by force the wealth or trade of another - to enrich itself by subjugating, or imposing its will by force on another; that in short, war, even when victorious, can no longer achieve those aims for which people strive..."
