“R.H. Coase 在其 1991 年 Nobel Prize 演讲（收录于此平装版）中认为，他 1937 年的文章 The Nature of the Firm 的重要意义在于‘将 transaction costs 明确引入经济学分析’，并将社会科学家未来的挑战描述为对‘存在正 transaction costs 的世界的不断研究’。本书进一步阐述了源自 Coasian 研究议程的核心重点与统一主题。护封。”——BOOK JACKET。

你可能会喜欢罗纳德·科斯（Ronald Coase）的《企业的性质》（The Nature of the Firm）。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_the_firm 企业就像是嵌在市场经济内部的社会主义指令性经济，在两者交界的接口处会产生一些奇特的边界效应。

这让我想起了这篇神作：罗纳德·科斯——《企业的性质》（The Nature Of The Firm），才20页 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-0335.1937.... 总结在这里 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nature_of_the_Firm 顺便说一句，UI 设计太赞了！

…可以降低交易成本，并用由更小企业组成的市场来取代大企业。经济学界有一篇非常有趣、通俗易懂（但往往被断章取义地曲解）的著名论文，就是罗纳德·科斯的《企业的性质》。我认为这是理解此处核心动态的最佳分析框架。雇全职员工还是找独立“外包/承包商”在经济上更划算，很大程度上取决于交易成本。…
…can reduce transaction costs and replace firms with markets made up of smaller firms. A really interesting and accessible (but usually misinterpreted via soundbite) famous work in economics is ' The Nature of the Firm' by Ronald Coase. I think this is the best framework for understanding the key dynamic here. Whether employees or independent "contractors" make economic sense is most influenced by transaction costs.…
噢，我真想有机会能和科斯当面聊聊。看到你推荐后我顺藤摸瓜找来了他那篇关于企业性质的论文[1]，写得太绝了。他的观点比单纯讲“企业为什么存在”还要精妙得多，他更探讨了为什么市场能够自组织而企业内部却不行。有意思的是，从历史上看它……
Oh I really would have liked to have talked to Coase, on your reference I tracked down his paper on the nature of the firm [1] and thought it was excellent. His point is a bit more nuanced than why firms exist but more why is it that markets can self organize and firms do not. The interesting thing is that historically it…
去读读罗纳德·科斯的《企业的性质》吧。如果你的业务_完全可以_通过架构设计把交易成本降到最低，那你干脆直接外包给低薪国家，何必费劲去折腾一个远程的中等薪资团队呢。我合作过的一家公司就……
Go read Ronald Coase's "The nature of the firm". And if your work _can_ be structured to minimize the transaction costs, you might as well go to a low-wage country rather than mess with a remote, medium-wage team. I worked with one company that had…
…最终往往是大家自然而然地组织成高效的层级架构，从而催生出加密货币极力想要干掉的那些令人头疼的机构和中间商。想搞明白这个关键问题，建议读读科斯的论文《企业的性质》。
…end in people naturally organizing in competent hierarchies, producing the dreaded institutions and middlemen that cryptocurrency tries to do away with. Read for this very question Coase's essay, The Nature of the Firm.
