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“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...
Very clear writing with attractive cases and frontier research. It seems that the author has special curiosities on China, quoting Confucius and even illustrating Twenty-four Filial Piety stories. For we PhD students, another book 'Social and Economic Networks' may be better for academic training.
评分把network science和各类社会和心理现象的关系讲的浅显易懂,读的过程毫不费力,但也不乏为有趣的idea拍案叫绝的时刻。总体来讲,深度似乎不够,比如探讨inequality和homophily的关系的时候。有机会打算读下Social and Economic Networks,也许是这本书的学术版吧。
评分对近期文献一个很好的总结,金融市场和social learning两部分尤其好,终于知道Horacio他们那个破文章为啥能发econometrica了……
评分非常intro的读物,标记的时候忘了读过中文版了,不过根据作者的名字检索发现了他的很多相关著作。
评分7/10
