Then there is the question of state support. Many Americans disapprove of the “socialized medicine” of Canada and Europe. In fact, even if much of the administration is done privately, around 60% of A
merica’s heath-care bill ends up being met by the government.

Having analyzed the u of soft and hard power in politics and diplomacy in his previous books,Mr.Nye has now turned his attention to the relationship between power and leadership,in both the political and business spheres.Machiavelli,he notes,concluded that "one ought to be both feared and loved,but as it is difficult for the two to go together,it is much safer to be feared than loved."In short,hard power is preferable to soft power.But modem leadership theorists have come to the opposite conclusion.

Now there is a similar challenge. Global warming. The steady deterioration 恶化of the very climate of this very planet is becoming a war of the first order, and by any measure, the U.S. produces nearly a quarter of the world's greenhou gas each year and has stubbornly made it clear that it doesn't intend to do a whole lot about it. Although 174 nations approved the admittedly flawed Kyoto accords to reduce carbon levels, the U.S. walked away from them. There are vague promis of manufacturing fuel from herbs or powering cars with hydrogen. But for a country that tightly cites patriotism as one of its core values, the U.S. is taking a pass on what might be the most patriotic struggle of all. It's hard to imagine a bigger fight than one for the survival of a country's coasts and farms, the health of its people and stability of its economy.

坚韧不屈Halting climate change will be far harder. One of the more conrvative plans for addressing the problem calls for a reduction of 25 billion tons of carbon emissions over the next 52 year. And yet by devising a consistent strategy that mixes and blends pragmatism实用主义with ambition, the U.S. can, without major damage to the economy, help halt the worst effects of climate change and ensure the survival of its way of life for future generations. Money will do some of the work, but what's needed most is will.

This curious hybrid混合物 certainly has its strengths. Americans have more choice than anybody el, and their health-care system is much more innovative. Europeans’ bills could be much higher if American medicine were not doing much of their Rearch and DevelopmentR&Dfor them. But there are also huge weakness. The one most often cited—especially by foreigners—is the army of uninsured. Some 46 million Americans do not have cover. In many cas that is out of choice and ,if they fall riously ill, hospitals have to treat them. But it is still deeply unequal.

Customers believe in tipping becau they think it makes economic n.“Waiters know that they won’t get paid if they don’t do a good job”is how most advocates of the system would put it.
