楼主 (文学城)

我很喜欢,听过两遍了,Thomas Sowell 写的经典,觉得讲的比较透彻,为什么资本主义和自由市场虽然有诸多缺点,还是好过社会主义和政府控制的计划经济

如果看一本专业的微观经济学,宏观经济学课本,也能推导出同样的结论。这就和物理规律一样,违背经济规律,必定跌成北朝鲜

谢谢推荐。不仅文学书可以是香的,经济、政治、社会和科技的书籍都可以是香的。我也借机推荐两本 --

第一本是科普书。我小时候读的,可以说它影响了我的一生。中文名叫《从1到无穷大》。前些年我又买来给我孩子读。

One Two Three . . . Infinity: Facts and Speculations of Science   by George Gamow 

 

另一本是近年读的。它介绍了英国数学家Andrew Wiles证明著名的数论难题Fermat's Last Theorem的全过程。

Fermat's Last Theorem  by Simon Singh

Yes, of course. I mean the Apollo Program (the moonshot).

We may even gain something from reading a bad book.

结论是正确的。社会主义不接人性的地气,人为拔高
