Niall Ferguson: "The internet progre is in crisis after the Trump boom"
****
The Scottish historian Niall Ferguson is one of the essential referents of liberal-conservative thought in the Anglo-Saxon world. His new book, entitled The square and the tower ( The square and the tower ), raises the importance of networks of power of nature landscape , understood as the counterweight to hierarchical structures and influence vertically .
In the presentation of the work, Ferguson points out that "the techno-optimists maintained for years that greater connectivity would lead us to a better world." John Perry Barlow said that "we are creating a world in which anyone can say what they think and express his beliefs and values without fear of being silenced. " Mark Zuckerberg pointed out something similar and said that" we are increasingly connecting more people and achieving things that would not be within our reach in a less integrated world. "But that line of thinking has entered in crisis, Evan Williams , co-founder of Twitter, recently told The New York Timesthat, although before he thought that social networks would automatically generate a better world, now he thinks he was wrong "
How is this change explained? "To begin with , we must not forget that 2016 was the annus horribilis of Internet liberal . They are in crisis since the victory of Trump. Therefore the edge of techno-optimism celebrating participation in social networks Barack Obama is the same that ended talking about censoring the Twitter account of Donald Trump or complaining about Brexit , and the uncritical look at the Internet giants seems to have passed away in 2017, in the heat of various scandals that have affected Facebook, Google, Uber or, more recently, Twitter, "he says.
The historian thinks that "if we want to study what has happened, we must abandon the obsession with hierarchies and verticality that historians usually exhibit." Not everything is designed from the top down . To speak in terms of urban architecture: we think a lot about the tower and not enough in the square, perhaps because we get simpler explanations of what happens, and because the documents on which we rely are guarded by those who sit in the tower and not by those who live in the plaza .
