右到死。不过非常具有可读性,如果不是想正统地学习经济学,作为普及读物还是很不错的。
评分Perfect. 10/10 would recommend.
评分英亚最近给了audible的三个月会员试用,第一本下的有声书,因为全篇只用语言没有任何图表就给你解释明白,如果选用一本书作为你提升专业口语的话,这是首选。
评分Perfect. 10/10 would recommend.
评分耳目一新。接下来读Friedman
Thomas Sowell is an American economist, social commentator, and author of dozens of books. He often writes from an economically laissez-faire perspective. He is currently a senior fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. In 1990, he won the Francis Boyer Award, presented by the American Enterprise Institute. In 2002 he was awarded the National Humanities Medal for prolific scholarship melding history, economics, and political science.
Sowell was born in North Carolina, where, he recounted in his autobiography, A Personal Odyssey, his encounters with Caucasians were so limited he didn't believe that "yellow" was a hair color. He moved to Harlem, New York City with his mother's sister (whom he believed was his mother); his father had died before he was born. Sowell went to Stuyvesant High School, but dropped out at 17 because of financial difficulties and a deteriorating home environment. He worked at various jobs to support himself, including in a machine shop and as a delivery man for Western Union. He applied to enter the Civil Service and was eventually accepted, moving to Washington DC. He was drafted in 1951, during the Korean War, and assigned to the US Marine Corps. Due to prior experience in photography, he worked in a photography unit.
After his discharge, Sowell passed the GED examination and enrolled at Howard University. He transfered to Harvard University, where he graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. He received a Master of Arts in Economics from Columbia University, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Economics from the University of Chicago. Sowell initially chose Columbia University because he wanted to study under George Stigler. After arriving at Columbia and learning that Stigler had moved to Chicago, he followed him there.
Sowell has taught Economics at Howard University, Cornell University, Brandeis University, and UCLA. Since 1980 he has been a Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, where he holds a fellowship named after Rose and Milton Friedman.
Basic Economicsis a citizen's guide to economics, written for those who want to understand how the economy works but have no interest in jargon or equations. Bestselling economist Thomas Sowell explains the general principles underlying different economic systems: capitalist, socialist, feudal, and so on. In readable language, he shows how to critique economic policies in terms of the incentives they create, rather than the goals they proclaim. With clear explanations of the entire field, from rent control and the rise and fall of businesses to the international balance of payments, this is the first book for anyone who wishes to understand how the economy functions.
This fifth edition includes a new chapter explaining the reasons for large differences of wealth and income between nations.
Drawing on lively examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains basic economic principles for the general public in plain English.
就读书而言,我总在寻求观念上的更新;能在思想上引起冲击的书,就过瘾。 这本书是一本生活中经济学常识解读的书,读起来很过瘾。 首先,他反复强调的是怀疑精神,如何对现实生活中的概念,媒体报道,各种数据用怀疑精神去解读,破除迷思; 帮我构建起了一个从经济的角度来看世...
评分整本看完了!书中引用的例子在多章节重复。虽然没有用微积分和图线来描绘经济学供需原理或者边际效用,但是用实际例子再加上翻译的语言限制貌似让本来看图更容易明白的道理反倒更艰涩。较为有印象的一个句式就是:要知道一类人或事到底在社会经济过程中发挥了什么作用,最好的...
评分限流这件事有很多看法,比如有人会觉得限流是件好事,毕竟通常限流之后平台会引导流量给“小透明”,在某些层面上限流也是“反对大V流量垄断”的一种“善政”。 但是大V的存在是一种垄断么?判断垄断与否的条件是市场占有率么? 想一想就会明白,如果垄断的评价指标是市场占有...
评分很有营养。 核心是自由市场。一切组织自由流动的都会降低经济体的效率,在客观上阻碍(比如地理条件,时间)是必然存在的,能做的是减少主观的阻碍。 许多例子只是用来解释经济学上的理想化模型,现实中的种种障碍使理想状况很难出现。作者用他的理论对事实加以解释,但是实际...
评分空气氧气与所有人的生命生存密切攸关,但大多数人却都不具备在自然科学意义上的对空气氧气的理性认知。而更加不幸的是,经济常识与所有人的生活生存密切攸关,大多数人也都不具备在经济学意义上的对经济常识的理性认知。正因如此,美国当代杰出的自由主义经济学大师托马斯·索...
