Here is a fresh, intriguing, and, above all, authoritative book about how our sometimes hidden positions in various social structures--our human networks--shape how we think and behave, and inform our very outlook on life. Inequality, social immobility, and political polarization are only a few crucial phenomena driven by the inevitability of social structures. Social structures determine who has power and influence, account for why people fail to assimilate basic facts, and enlarge our understanding of patterns of contagion--from the spread of disease to financial crises. Despite their primary role in shaping our lives, human networks are often overlooked when we try to account for our most important political and economic practices. Matthew O. Jackson brilliantly illuminates the complexity of the social networks in which we are--often unwittingly--positioned and aims to facilitate a deeper appreciation of why we are who we are. Ranging across disciplines--psychology, behavioral economics, sociology, and business--and rich with historical analogies and anecdotes, The Human Network provides a galvanizing account of what can drive success or failure in life.

Jackson is a member of the National Academy of Sciences; a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Econometric Society, and the Game Theory Society; an Economic Theory Fellow; and former Guggenheim Fellow. He has reached more than a million students via his popular online courses on social and economic networks and game theory.
“有研究通过分析多大百分比的少数族裔人口迁入某个社区会导致许多白人家庭离开,估计出了造成“白人逃离”的临界点。结果发现在5%~20%之间——说明即使是较少数量的少数族裔迁入,也会使白人搬离。” 01 — 从技术角度分析人与人之间的关系的网络特性:友谊悖论,中心度,特征...
评分这是一本不错的书。 这本书虽然表面是在讲网络,其实内容涵盖了各个方面与网络的关系。从个体到整体,讲述了人与人之间的交流与网络之间的联系,从而延伸到个人发展和网络之间的联系。国家的金融和网络有关,蝴蝶效应可能会产生危险的金融风暴。病毒和网络有关,紧密的网络带来...
评分上周持续把这本人类网络看完了,很理性化的分析了我们现在所处的人类网络。而在与此同时,病毒在全世界200多个国家里肆意的奔袭中。让我们不得不感叹这个世界其实一直都有着我们所不知的网络关系连接着,尽管摸不着,看不见,但它确确实实存在着,并日益影响着我们的生活。 我...
评分 评分到底应该从个体的角度,还是从群体的角度看待人类的行为和各种社会现象,这是一个值得认真思考的问题。马克思多次提醒人们,人是社会关系的总和,暗示了人之所以为人,本质上是因为他是各种关系所构成人类网络的一个结点,正是因为这张网,他才成为一个人。 尽管如此,人们往往...
读了半本之后发现有中文版,然后就发现自己英文阅读真慢啊…… 最喜欢 social learning 这一章,大概因为我很喜欢这章里面彰显的 network 的方法论:个人只有有限理性,使用局部信息,但是他们行为的交互可以衍生出很复杂的总体现象。这样的模型放松了 strategic interaction, 可以允许我们对 information/belief 有更加 ad hoc 但是符合需要的假设。感觉 Agent Based Model 也类似这个思路,不知道为什么在经济学里面一直非常边缘,是因为经济学里面均衡概念太重要了吗?
评分Very clear writing with attractive cases and frontier research. It seems that the author has special curiosities on China, quoting Confucius and even illustrating Twenty-four Filial Piety stories. For we PhD students, another book 'Social and Economic Networks' may be better for academic training.
评分很有趣的书,阅读体验很轻松
评分社会学上,有个广为人知的“决定理论”:一个人的成就和层次,等于你最常接触五个人的平均值。在本书中,用一个词揭示了此现象——Homophily(趋同性),也正是所谓“方以类聚,物以群分”。趋同性和隔离性(segregation)共同促成了社会网络的产生,而由此作者讲到了信息流动、病毒扩散(跟最近生活紧密联系)、阶层固化和不平等、经济全球化……
