书籍介绍
这不像一本教你背曲线、算均衡的教科书,而更像一份“像经济学家那样思考”的练习手册。墨菲把经济学还原为研究“有目的行动”的社会科学:人是在稀缺中做选择的、会犯错的真实个体,而非模型里理性的齿轮。读者最看重的,正是这种把“人”放回中心的视角——它让你看清供给、需求、利率这些工具只是观察世界的框架,而非不可推翻的真理。书里对政府干预的尖锐批评、对计划与市场经济后果的对比,也引发不少争议:有人全盘接受其自由市场立场,也有人只取其方法。它适合想建立经济学底层逻辑、又不愿被公式劝退的读者;若你期待的是政策站队或应试技巧,这里未必给得了。

  • "The list of causes could be huge, including the weather, the producers' forecasts of future customer behavior, and even the possibility of civil war. After they have come up with a list of all the different factors that could influence producers' decisions constant, except they allow the price of th"
  • "The subject of interest, and the explanation of how markets determine particular interest rates, can be one of the most complicated areas in economic theory. In the present lesson we will obviously just cover the basics. Essentially, interest has to do with time."
  • "One important difference between the crimes of capitalist regimes versus socialist ones - important at least in terms of evaluating them as economic systems - is that the crimes of captialist regimes largely concerned outside victims, whereas the deaths we document below occured among the socialist "
  • "供给增加时,消费者的需求并没有随之增加。"
  • "当然,工人愿意放弃休闲挣美元,而商家也愿意出售商品换美元,理由很简单一他们希望未来其他人也会做同样的事情。换言之,一个人之所以会服从一个他无法忍受的人的指令,每周工作40小时,是因为他提供的服务能换来一沓美元。接下来他会认为,因为拥有这些美元,其他人会听从他的命令。"
