我是原作者！我是在读托马斯·索维尔（Thomas Sowell）的《经济学的真相与谬误》（Economic Facts and Fallacies）时看到那篇提到“物理学家”和“英语教授”的原始研究的。这本书读起来很有趣，几乎探讨了当今所有热门的政治议题。
Author here! I came across the original study referring to the "physicist" and the "English Professor" while reading Economic Facts and Fallacies by Thomas Sowell. It's an interesting read that addresses almost all of the hot political topics of today.
……如果像过去那样还得靠 90% 的人口务农才不至于饿死，那就不会存在了。现在我们大概只有 1% 的人口是农民。这就是进步。推荐阅读：拉塞尔·罗伯茨的《选择》（The Choice）、托马斯·索维尔的《经济学的真相与谬误》（Economic Facts and Fallacies）、亨利·黑兹利特的《一课经济学》（Economics in One Lesson）

托马斯·索维尔的《经济学的真相与谬误》（Economic Facts and Fallacies）是十年前改变了我观念的一本书。这些年来，经历了一轮完整的市场周期，我又翻过几次，发现他的观点依然是一针见血、完全正确。
Economic Facts and Fallacies by Thomas Sowell is a book that changed my views a decade ago. I have skimmed through it a few times in the years since, through a full market cycle, and he continues to be spot on.
我同意，这是一本好书。索维尔写的书几乎都值得一读，不过《基础经济学》（Basic Economics）和《经济学的真相与谬误》（Economic Facts and Fallacies）是很好的入门起点。另外也可以考虑亨利·黑兹利特的《一课经济学》（Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics）。它带着非常鲜明的奥地利学派视角，……
I agree, this is a great book. Just about anything by Sowell is worth reading, but _Basic Economics_ and _Economic Facts and Fallacies_ are good starting points. Also consider _Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics _ by Henry Hazlitt. It's coming from a strong Austrian school perspective,…
……自 1990 年代以来许多人的口头禅，而且不断被（大体上）证明是错的。这里的变量太多了。如果你想读一本直接讨论这个问题的书，去看看托马斯·索维尔的《经济学的真相与谬误》（Economic Facts and Fallacies）。里面专门有章节讨论性别和种族的经济差异。尽管这本书已经出版大约 14 年了，但它有力地反驳了这类论调。
…mantra of many since the 1990s, and I continues to get proven false (generally). There are so many variables here. If you want to read a book that directly talks about this, check out Thomas Sowell's "Economic facts and fallacies". There are chapters for both gender and race economic differences. Even though the book is ~14 years old, it counters these kinds of arguments.
