The fourth edition of Basic Economics is both expanded and updated. A new chapter on the history of economics itself has been added, and the implications of that history examined. A new section on the special role of corporations in the economy has been added to the chapter on government and big business, among other additions throughout the book. Basic Economics , which has now been translated into six foreign languages, has grown so much that a large of amount of material in the back of the book in previous editions has now been put on-line instead, so that the book itself and its price will not have to expand. The central idea of Basic Economics , however remains the same: that the fundamental facts and principles of economics do not require jargon, graphs or equations, and can be learned in a relaxed and even enjoyable way.

不管在什么经济体中,知识都是最稀缺的资源之一。 终于看完了这本600页的大部头,可谓是收获颇丰。如果你也和我一样从来没有在学校正统学过经济学,这本书可以作为入门级书来读。没有大学经济学教材里的图表和公式,这本书全都是用文字解释经济学的基本概念和逻辑,还是很通俗...
评分空气氧气与所有人的生命生存密切攸关,但大多数人却都不具备在自然科学意义上的对空气氧气的理性认知。而更加不幸的是,经济常识与所有人的生活生存密切攸关,大多数人也都不具备在经济学意义上的对经济常识的理性认知。正因如此,美国当代杰出的自由主义经济学大师托马斯·索...
评分为了解决孕龄妇女在招聘时受到歧视的问题,多个有关部门联合要求企业在招聘时不得询问应聘者在这方面的信息。 有一部分人欢欣鼓舞,鼓起了掌,觉得这是一个好的选择,以后女性的平等工作的权利受到了越来越好的保障! 真的么? 恐怕不见得,越这样,女性的受到的歧视会越深入越...
评分 评分600页的鸿篇巨制,没有图表没有公式,通俗易懂。介绍经济学的常识。宏观微观的常见问题都讲到了。有许多反直觉的经过历史考验的结论,重要的有: 1:高价格是稀缺性的表达。针对商品、劳动力、资本的限价最终的结果都会跟政策的初衷相反。制定商品最高价导致商品供应不足,制定...

评分Nobody does a better job than Sowell at taking apart economic policies that're based on good desires but with disastrous consequences. Not a single formula but full of reason and logic.
