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.

评分《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...
评分逼着自己看点书,省的越来越面目乏味。看完就会忘记(脑子退化),所以有时做点记录。因为小孩还没开学,家里十分吵闹,静不下心来,所以只能看一些轻松的书 此书封面写着这是一部经济学罗曼史,简而言之,用浅显的小说形式,借主人公之口探讨了自由市场经济思想的一些基本思路...
