我从 John Kenneth Galbraith 的书里学到了超级多东西。尤其是《丰裕社会》（The Affluent Society）、《新工业国》（The New Industrial State）以及《钱：从哪里来，到哪里去》（Money: Whence it Came, Where it Went）。
I learned a heck of a lot from reading John Kenneth Galbraith's books. In particular, The Affluent Society, The New Industrial State, and Money: Whence it Came, Where it Went
……我克制住想要列举“避坑书单”的冲动，只单纯推荐几本心头好：1. 我是约翰·肯尼斯·加尔布雷思的铁粉，他在几件事上写得极其透彻。我推荐《新工业国》，尤其是《丰裕社会》，他在书里指出经济学已经不足以应对后稀缺时代。2. 迪尔德丽·麦克洛斯基的《如果你这么聪明》（If You're So Smart）极具讽刺意味地揭露了那种目光狭隘的本质……
…will resist the urge to tell you what NOT to read and merely recommend a few favorites: 1. I am a big fan of John Kenneth Galbraith, who writes very clearly about a few things. I recommend both "The New Industrial State" and especially "The Affluent Society", where he argues that economics is insufficient to deal with post-scarcity. 2. Deirdre McCloskey's "If You're So Smart" is a great skewering of the blinkered nature…
It's somewhat dated, but Galbraith's _The New Industrial State_ has a lot of interesting insight into the role of large corporations in economic planning. People sometimes criticize the book because the large corporations (GM, GE, etc.) the book talks about are less…
An interesting read is Galbraith's "The New Industrial State" which lays out an argument that the US is also a planned economy, just with non-state planners. It came out before the 80s so things have changed from the era of corporate conglomerates in the US, but…
…of conditions might inspire corporations not to maximize profit, and how those kinds of decisions actually contribute to the perpetuation and success of said corporations. The main book to read is The New Industrial State. He wrote it in the '60s when conditions were very different, but the fundamental principles remain valid.

C. Northcote Parkinson 写的《帕金森定律》（Parkinson's Law），J.K. Galbraith 写的《新工业国》（The New Industrial State）

虽然有点过时了，但加尔布雷思的《新工业国》对大企业在经济计划中所扮演的角色提供了很多有趣的洞见。人们有时会批评这本书，是因为书里提到的那些大企业（通用汽车、通用电气等）现在已经没那么……

一本挺有意思的读物是加尔布雷思的《新工业国》，书中提出一个论点，认为美国其实也是计划经济，只不过是由非官方人员来做计划罢了。这本书是80年代之前出的，所以情况跟美国企业集团称霸的那个时代相比已经变了，但是……

……什么样的条件可能会促使企业不以利润最大化为目标，以及这类决策究竟是如何有助于延长这些企业的生命力并促成其成功的。必读的代表作是《新工业国》。他是在60年代写的，当时的环境大不相同，但基本原则至今依然成立。
