George A. Akerlof is University Professor at Georgetown University and the winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize.
Robert J. Shiller is Sterling Professor of Economics at Yale University, the winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize, and the author of the New York Times bestseller Irrational Exuberance (Princeton). Akerlof and Shiller are also the authors of Animal Spirits: How Human Psychology Drives the Economy, and Why It Matters for Global Capitalism (Princeton).
Ever since Adam Smith, the central teaching of economics has been that free markets provide us with material well-being, as if by an invisible hand. In Phishing for Phools, Nobel Prize–winning economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller deliver a fundamental challenge to this insight, arguing that markets harm as well as help us. As long as there is profit to be made, sellers will systematically exploit our psychological weaknesses and our ignorance through manipulation and deception. Rather than being essentially benign and always creating the greater good, markets are inherently filled with tricks and traps and will “phish” us as “phools.”
Phishing for Phools therefore strikes a radically new direction in economics, based on the intuitive idea that markets both give and take away. Akerlof and Shiller bring this idea to life through dozens of stories that show how phishing affects everyone, in almost every walk of life. We spend our money up to the limit, and then worry about how to pay the next month’s bills. The financial system soars, then crashes. We are attracted, more than we know, by advertising. Our political system is distorted by money. We pay too much for gym memberships, cars, houses, and credit cards. Drug companies ingeniously market pharmaceuticals that do us little good, and sometimes are downright dangerous.
Phishing for Phools explores the central role of manipulation and deception in fascinating detail in each of these areas and many more. It thereby explains a paradox: why, at a time when we are better off than ever before in history, all too many of us are leading lives of quiet desperation. At the same time, the book tells stories of individuals who have stood against economic trickery—and how it can be reduced through greater knowledge, reform, and regulation.
一、亚当斯密 市场经济的理论鼻祖亚当斯密也反复强调,现代社会必须有法制,否则市场会失灵,而法制体系不能有商人或者利益集团定。很多问题上任凭自由市场自行发展会伤害国家利益,因此为英国及殖民地运输贸易品的商船必须由英国制造,这一法令从根本上保证了英国军舰的制造能...
评分自由市场的力量与观念已渗透至我们的方方面面。它带来了发展、繁荣及更好的生活。但它同样带来了不好的一面,而这却是不可避免的。 一、欺骗均衡 自由市场带来的好处枚不胜举,无论是亚当斯密的“看不见的手”还是凯恩斯的“调控”,都是硬币的一体两面。而能够让这枚硬币立起...
评分打开这本《钓愚》,或许我们已处于某种惶惶不安的状态之中:中国经济的增长在2007年达到最高峰之后,如今正处于下滑的阶段;而另一个不争的事实表明:我们花时间进行阅读,在阅读这本书之后,我们可能要继续承担那种身处难堪境地、在读短时间之内一无所获的风险,因为我们尚无...
评分 评分这是一本科普类的书籍,文中没有长篇大论,没有晦涩难懂的数学公式,但是从未见过一本科普类的书籍写的如此严谨,单单注释的厚度就占了1/10。 书籍采用叙事类的描述方式,一个又一个的小故事将生活中鲜活的例子呈现在你的眼前,人物形象跃然纸上。 人是非理性的,而商家正是利...
