How important is luck in economic success? No question more reliably divides conservatives from liberals. As conservatives correctly observe, people who amass great fortunes are almost always talented and hardworking. But liberals are also correct to note that countless others have those same qualities yet never earn much. In recent years, social scientists have discovered that chance plays a much larger role in important life outcomes than most people imagine. In Success and Luck, bestselling author and New York Times economics columnist Robert Frank explores the surprising implications of those findings to show why the rich underestimate the importance of luck in success—and why that hurts everyone, even the wealthy.
Frank describes how, in a world increasingly dominated by winner-take-all markets, chance opportunities and trivial initial advantages often translate into much larger ones—and enormous income differences—over time; how false beliefs about luck persist, despite compelling evidence against them; and how myths about personal success and luck shape individual and political choices in harmful ways.
But, Frank argues, we could decrease the inequality driven by sheer luck by adopting simple, unintrusive policies that would free up trillions of dollars each year—more than enough to fix our crumbling infrastructure, expand healthcare coverage, fight global warming, and reduce poverty, all without requiring painful sacrifices from anyone. If this sounds implausible, you'll be surprised to discover that the solution requires only a few, noncontroversial steps.
Compellingly readable, Success and Luck shows how a more accurate understanding of the role of chance in life could lead to better, richer, and fairer economies and societies.
Robert H. Frank is the H. J. Louis Professor of Management and Professor of Economics at Cornell University's Johnson School of Management. He has been an Economic View columnist for the New York Times for more than a decade and his books include The Winner-Take-All Society (with Philip J. Cook), The Economic Naturalist, The Darwin Economy (Princeton), and Principles of Economics (with Ben S. Bernanke). He lives in Ithaca, New York.

评分努力了不一定会成功,你要正视运气。来喝了这碗毒鸡汤
评分所有的成功经验不过是成功者的事后总结,但他们都忘了背后的运气。把握书中的一个观点就好,努力时相信自己的能力会达成目标,成功时不要忘了运气和别人的帮助。
评分怎么能写成一本书。。。
评分在这个时代,仅靠天赋、努力和理性的正确决策是不够的。精英们可能不愿意承认,有一种成功经验,叫运气。
《投资异类》的作者王利杰讲过这样一个故事:联邦快递的创始人弗雷德•史密斯早些年写了一篇论文,说如果用飞机专门运输小型包裹,将会比现有公司更加高效。这篇论文得了一个C。后来他创业了,创业之后赶上了燃油价格上涨,公司大亏,只剩下5000美元。这个时候他拿着这5000美...
