羅伯特·墨菲是美國著名經濟學傢、顧問、專欄作傢和多部暢銷書作者。他的熱門文章經常齣現在《洛杉磯時報》《華盛頓時報》《市場觀察》《福布斯》和《投資者商業日報》等雜誌上,作品包括《第一本經濟學》《<人的行為>導讀》《<人,經濟與國傢>導讀》《選擇》等。
We are beyond mere excitement about Lessons for the Young Economist. It is easily the best introduction to economics for the young reader—because it covers both pure economic theory and also how markets work (the domain of most introductory books).
Robert Murphy has the right frame of mind and mastery of the subject matter to provide the best possible pedagogy. The logic is super clear. The organization is impeccable. It achieves a great balance between “plain old” economics and that aspect of economic thought that is considered particularly Austrian. Therefore, it prepares the student for both conventional economic studies in the future and provides the logical rigor and policy clarity that only the Austrian School perspective can offer.
Most of the attempts at such texts falter because they are either too dry and technical for the young reader or they are littered with attempts to keep the student entertained with references to pop culture or cheesy passages that attempt to “speak the child’s language” but only end up sounding patronizing.
Dr. Murphy’s text has none of this. The prose has relentless fire without needless fireworks. What drives it forward is intellectual passion born of his love of the topic. What’s also nice is that he is nowhere self-consciously trying to sound like someone he is not. It is his real voice, explaining everything point by point. For this reason, the text is warm and engaging.
Here is the product of vast experience and daily writing. This permits the voicing of the book to achieve a remarkable integration page to page, chapter to chapter. Though he is drawing from the whole history of the development of economics, the text ends up being strikingly original. His approach is not based on anything but his own sense of how to teach this subject.
This book will not be boring or useless even for people who think they already know the subject. Every page or two, there are fresh insights. For example, on the problems with barter, he shows that in the real world, most goods and services would not have come into existence at all (so that there would be no trading of tractors for cobbler services because there would be no tractors or repairable shoes). In another place, he points out that one of the advantages of the division of labor is that it makes the advantages of automation more readily apparent.
Maybe these points appear in other introductory texts but the way he works them into a logical and seamless system is very impressive. It has a much larger market than just high-school students. Anyone can enjoy this book and learn from it. The appropriate age here is probably 13 and up but any adult will love this book.
Murphy wrote the first study guides to Human Action and Man, Economy, and State. He can now add another medal to his chest. It is a big one. There is every reason to believe that this book will still have powerful legs decades from now.
As for the price, it is close to being a miracle for a textbook of this size and expanse. The conventional publishers of bad books at high prices don't stand a chance against this landmark.

評分 評分《第一本经济学》的译者在序言中说:“经济学原本是帮助人们洞察世事、学习人与人相处之道的有趣学问。”——我理解的“洞察世事”,是说,经济学提供了一套由许多相互联系的概念组成的理论框架,我们用它来理解经济运行,和各种与稀缺、选择相关的社会现象。 不管市面...
評分墨菲说,他从法律上支持毒品合法化,虽然从道德上他支持禁毒。他的这个立场,和奥地利学派、马尔萨斯这些人的立场是一致的,或者说他和Sowell所谓的那些持有the tragic vision的人的立场是一致的。但是问题是,即使对人性、人的理性能力有悲观的态度,也没有必要放弃干预。当然...
評分作者对资本主义市场经济了解很好,但是意识形态上极其虚伪,睁着眼说瞎话。 故意夸大社会主义制度杀了多少人。建议看这本书不要相信其中数据,完全没有引用-怀疑是译者夹带私货?? 搜搜欧洲资本主义国家在非洲美洲杀了几千万人,然后对比一下被选择性忽视的数据。 首先作者/译...
讀到最後纔發現是一本奧地利學派洗腦初中生的讀物,但是最精彩的還是後半部分從論證社會主義開始到對政府乾預的反對。
