Here is a fresh, intriguing, and, above all, authoritative book about how our sometimes hidden positions in various social structures--our human networks--shape how we think and behave, and inform our very outlook on life. Inequality, social immobility, and political polarization are only a few crucial phenomena driven by the inevitability of social structures. Social structures determine who has power and influence, account for why people fail to assimilate basic facts, and enlarge our understanding of patterns of contagion--from the spread of disease to financial crises. Despite their primary role in shaping our lives, human networks are often overlooked when we try to account for our most important political and economic practices. Matthew O. Jackson brilliantly illuminates the complexity of the social networks in which we are--often unwittingly--positioned and aims to facilitate a deeper appreciation of why we are who we are. Ranging across disciplines--psychology, behavioral economics, sociology, and business--and rich with historical analogies and anecdotes, The Human Network provides a galvanizing account of what can drive success or failure in life.
MATTHEW O. JACKSON is the William D. Eberle Professor of Economics at Stanford University, an external faculty member of the Santa Fe Institute, and a senior fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. He has been researching social and economic networks for more than twenty-five years and has published Social and Economic Networks, a leading graduate-level text on the subject. Jackson is a member of the National Academy of Sciences; a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Econometric Society, and the Game Theory Society; an Economic Theory Fellow; and former Guggenheim Fellow. He has reached more than a million students via his popular online courses on social and economic networks and game theory.

评分这是一本不错的书。 这本书虽然表面是在讲网络,其实内容涵盖了各个方面与网络的关系。从个体到整体,讲述了人与人之间的交流与网络之间的联系,从而延伸到个人发展和网络之间的联系。国家的金融和网络有关,蝴蝶效应可能会产生危险的金融风暴。病毒和网络有关,紧密的网络带来...
评分上周持续把这本人类网络看完了,很理性化的分析了我们现在所处的人类网络。而在与此同时,病毒在全世界200多个国家里肆意的奔袭中。让我们不得不感叹这个世界其实一直都有着我们所不知的网络关系连接着,尽管摸不着,看不见,但它确确实实存在着,并日益影响着我们的生活。 我...
评分“有研究通过分析多大百分比的少数族裔人口迁入某个社区会导致许多白人家庭离开,估计出了造成“白人逃离”的临界点。结果发现在5%~20%之间——说明即使是较少数量的少数族裔迁入,也会使白人搬离。” 01 — 从技术角度分析人与人之间的关系的网络特性:友谊悖论,中心度,特征...
评分本书关注不同人际(厂际、国际)网络的形成,及其所呈现的相应模式。这些网络模式塑造了主体的权力结构,信念系统与行为决策,并进一步帮助我们理解经济不平等,社会流动性缺失、政治极化等议题。 整理下个人有兴趣的部分: 1. 度量 a. Centrality i. Degree centality:度量流...
很有趣的书,阅读体验很轻松
评分可以结合郑路的社会网络二十讲看
评分社会学上,有个广为人知的“决定理论”:一个人的成就和层次,等于你最常接触五个人的平均值。在本书中,用一个词揭示了此现象——Homophily(趋同性),也正是所谓“方以类聚,物以群分”。趋同性和隔离性(segregation)共同促成了社会网络的产生,而由此作者讲到了信息流动、病毒扩散(跟最近生活紧密联系)、阶层固化和不平等、经济全球化……
评分可以结合郑路的社会网络二十讲看
评分social network是读博时想选的课题,无奈最后错过了… 读这本书是想“圆个梦”,也许是对具体操作落地更感兴趣,于是整本书读起来都像是大大的introduction,每章都很惊讶“这就结束了?”,哈哈… 我可能得去读一下作者写的教材 >< 不过,图画得很好啊,尤其是连续几张小图就能展现一个network的演变,这些图如此简明扼要,设计起来肯定不简单!
