读懂这本书需要很多对美国经济和社会的context,大致是写给白人精英读的。应该说是不错,但我一直认为像Akerlof和Shiller这样的诺奖得主有能力可以把复杂问题写得更简单一些,让普通人也能读懂。要不索性就写得更深刻一些,给真正的thinker来读。Phishing for Phools的道理,结果读了看懂了的多半是phishers,phools是不读这种书的。
评分How people using cues and informational asymmetry to create a zero/negative-sum game. Reading this book and his open-course helps you to know where Shiller stands in a spectrum of economists. Left of Milton Friedman but not very left. He is a believer of the system, and thinks it needs a few patches/ upgrades. Not very information.
评分All the things are in the final chapters. I'd have to say I'm confusion in previous reading. Luckily, the final chapter gives us points.
评分写个杂志文章可能也不过如此……
评分"free-market system exploits our weaknesses automatically. markets do not just produce what we really want; they also produce what we want according to our monkey-on-the-shoulder tastes.”
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.
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 评分这本书其实很短,如果去掉注释,正文只有170多页(颇觉得买得不太值,这也是根据排名买书的结果),主要讲的是市场经济除了分配不均和外部性之外的另一个问题:卖家利用信息不对称和买家的弱点进行操纵,从而让买家的决策对卖家而非买家有利。由于经济主体并非都是典型的理性人...
