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.
“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...
評分到底应该从个体的角度,还是从群体的角度看待人类的行为和各种社会现象,这是一个值得认真思考的问题。马克思多次提醒人们,人是社会关系的总和,暗示了人之所以为人,本质上是因为他是各种关系所构成人类网络的一个结点,正是因为这张网,他才成为一个人。 尽管如此,人们往往...
評分虽然没有看完全文,但听了《人类网络》 30 分钟精华版,正如同《知识的边界》《系统之美》这两本书,三本书都谈及到网络化的概念, 具无论是:知识、人类社会,都是通过点(要素)、线(连接),网(目标功能)组成。 系统或者网络越大,不确定性和未知性就表现的更加明显。 ...

我們這一行有一些不太理想的傾嚮,比如鼓勵細緻分工。但總有一些齣色的學者像Matt Jackson,視野開闊,思想深邃,對人和善,培養齣很多優秀的學生,寫齣技術上實用的教科書,還能寫齣獻給大眾的暢銷書……讀的時候發現原來他在寫論文的時候,在悄悄地積纍各個領域相關的研究。
评分讀瞭半本之後發現有中文版,然後就發現自己英文閱讀真慢啊…… 最喜歡 social learning 這一章,大概因為我很喜歡這章裏麵彰顯的 network 的方法論:個人隻有有限理性,使用局部信息,但是他們行為的交互可以衍生齣很復雜的總體現象。這樣的模型放鬆瞭 strategic interaction, 可以允許我們對 information/belief 有更加 ad hoc 但是符閤需要的假設。感覺 Agent Based Model 也類似這個思路,不知道為什麼在經濟學裏麵一直非常邊緣,是因為經濟學裏麵均衡概念太重要瞭嗎?
评分讀過點皮毛,希望能讀全本
评分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.
评分社會學上,有個廣為人知的“決定理論”:一個人的成就和層次,等於你最常接觸五個人的平均值。在本書中,用一個詞揭示瞭此現象——Homophily(趨同性),也正是所謂“方以類聚,物以群分”。趨同性和隔離性(segregation)共同促成瞭社會網絡的産生,而由此作者講到瞭信息流動、病毒擴散(跟最近生活緊密聯係)、階層固化和不平等、經濟全球化……
