A love story that embraces the business and economic issues of the day? The Invisible Heart takes a provocative look at business, economics, and regulation through the eyes of Sam Gordon and Laura Silver, teachers at the exclusive Edwards School in Washington, D.C. Sam lives and breathes capitalism. He thinks that most government regulation is unnecessary or even harmful. He believes that success in business is a virtue. He believes that our humanity flourishes under economic freedom. Laura prefers Wordsworth to the Wall Street Journal . Where Sam sees victors, she sees victims. She wants the government to protect consumers and workers from the excesses of Sam's beloved marketplace. While Sam and Laura argue about how to make the world a better place, a parallel story unfolds across town. Erica Baldwin, the crusading head of a government watchdog agency, tries to bring Charles Krauss, a ruthless CEO, to justice. How are these two dramas connected? Why is Sam under threat of dismissal? Will Erica Baldwin find the evidence she needs? Can Laura love a man with an Adam Smith poster on his wall? The answers in The Invisible Heart give the reader a richer appreciation for how business and the marketplace transform our lives.
这本经济学的小说,不同于枯燥的理论知识,完全可以被当做一本扣女秘辛来读(开个玩笑)。 全书讲的是一个初中经济学老师的讲课课件,所以,书里穿插的故事都生动易懂,如开心果之于能源消耗,热带雨林之于市场竞争,囚犯船长之于环保政策等等,让人记忆深刻,直到合上书后回...
評分看《罗辑思维》的时候,罗胖推荐了这本书。原来这是本小说,主线居然是劳拉和萨姆的相知相爱,而贯穿始终的是劳拉和萨姆的争论,劳拉是一个充满同情心的英语老师,而萨姆是一个经济学老师。简单有趣,虽然故事比不上纯小说,但是作为经济学读物已经够了。 先来一个问题:世界...
評分《致命的均衡》並不是一個出色的推理故事,如果你是為了看推理故事而讀這本書,可能會感到失望,但《致命的均衡》目的不是要說一個精彩的推理故事,而是要說明一些經濟學的基本概念,因此讀書可能不會對推理故事有太大的期望,會原諒作者杜撰這個沒什麼可推的推理故事。以故事...
評分人物间的对话是本书的亮点,思维的碰撞、不断质疑、不断妙答、加之巨大知识量以及将经济学知识恰如其分地融入生活,令人如饮甘露,不仅如此,对经济现象的解释也很有现实意思。不足的是,作为一部小说,可能情节略显单薄。
