《资本主义的真相:自由市场经济学家的23个秘密》内容简介：如果你想弄明白经济学家们为什么没能预料到经济崩溃(金融危机)的到来，《资本主义的真相(自由市场经济学家的23个秘密)》作者张夏准给出了答案：我们并不了解资本主义的全部。《资本主义的真相(自由市场经济学家的23个秘密)》读来轻松有趣，但有着严肃的目的：自里根时代以来，新自由主义经济学派——自由市场的信徒——长期占据主流地位，《资本主义的真相:自由市场经济学家的23个秘密》将对该学派编造和鼓吹的那些教条背后的假定条件提出质疑。
张夏准是世界上最受尊崇的经济学家之一，他思路清晰、充满智慧，这也是加尔布雷斯和斯蒂格利茨的风格。《资本主义的真相:自由市场经济学家的23个秘密》将揭示全球资本主义制度是如何运作或失灵的。在题为“如何重建世界经济”的最后一章中，作者提供了一种新的视角，那就是如何让资本主义制度发挥人性善的一面，而不是让人们沦为市场的奴隶。

- "Both these countries are up to their necks in things that are supposed to hamper economic development - heavy protectionism, discrimination against foreign investors, weak protection of property rights, monopolies, lack of democracy, corruption, lack of meritocracy, and so on.

- "Wages in rich countries are determined more by immigration control than anything else, including any minimum wage legislation. How is the immigration maximum determined? Not by the ‘free’ labour market, which, if left alone, will end up replacing 80–90 per cent of native workers with cheaper, and of"
- "the very fact that its PPP income is more or less the same as its market exchange rate income is proof that the higher average living standard in the US is built on the poverty of many. What do I mean by this? As I have pointed out earlier, it is normal for a rich country’s PPP income to be lower, s"
- "China, being the birthplace of Confucianism, had the confidence to take a more pragmatic approach in interpreting the classical doctrines and allowed people from merchant and artisanal classes to sit for the civil service examination. Korea – being more Confucian than Confucius – adamantly stuck to "

目录
用户评论
一个韩裔英籍、在剑桥供职的经济学家，对新自由主义经济政策的去魅剂（?）。推荐。
对于时下流行的经济学争论，大抵上不会再care了。time to say goodbye
关于政治与经济的关系，关于教育的神话，关于道德，关于创业精神，都讲得很现实。
非常有意思的一本书，从另一角度看自由市场。
只是说明话不能说死，现在经济学还没有铁律
基本就是和现在主流的经济观点针锋相对的非主流了。只能说各有道理。去搞明白谁是谁非，就和人去争论人性本善还是性本恶一样毫无意义。也只能放在学术范畴里面讨论讨论。这些非主流观点就和那些在野党一样，批评起执政党（主流观点）是都好似一针见血，头头是道的。一旦角色（地位）互换，立马做起和前人一样的事。只能感叹一句，人比物质复杂多了。
经济学是一门政治实践（绝非科学），所有以限制自由之名反对某议案的人，实际上都是在捍卫自己的某项权利。想要理解资本主义，先丢掉"自由市场"这一神话吧。韩裔英籍经济学家张夏准，牛逼！
很好，批判流行的一些西方经济学宣传、说教、偏见。举了一些很切实的例子。
反对自由主义市场经济的系统性通俗读物。 华盛顿共识显然不适合发展中国家，希望亚投行能把北京共识带给世界上大部分的欠发达地区。
之前对跨境工资差距和服务业虚假繁荣还没十分把握，看完放心了，没想错（+1）。读张的好处是他不跟你纠缠是不是边际生产率决定工资，他直接用经济史揭穿发自屁股的思考。
