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.

評分因为这本书,我爱上了经济学同时也爱上了经济学思维。它不是枯燥的理论解说,也不是用一大堆的专业术语让人深陷其中摸不着头脑,以为经济学就是数学的堆砌。对于非经济学的人,看了这本书会深受吸引,心灵受到感动,让人不自觉地想去探索现代生活中的问题,换一种眼光看世界...
評分“每一个人……既不打算促进公共的利益,也不知道自己是在什么程度上促进那种利益……他所盘算的也只是他的自己的利益。在这种场合下,像在其他许多场合一样,他受着一只看不见的手的指导,去尽力达到一个并非他本意想要达到的目的……他追求自己的利益,往往使他能比在真...
