“附有作者新序的这本 Thomas Sowell 关于决策制定的经典著作再版，将这部开创性巨作置于 The Vision of the Annointed 的背景下进行了全面更新。作为美国最负盛名的公共知识分子之一，Sowell 在书中具体入微地阐述了知识如何在现代社会中被共享与传播。他发出警告：社会正深受第一手知识与决策制定之间日益扩大的鸿沟之苦——这一鸿沟不仅威胁着我们的经济与政治效率，更危及我们的自由本身，因为真实的知识正在被基于抽象概念的臆测所取代

……是我读过的一本，而且对数学恐惧症患者非常友好，里面一个公式都没有。另一本非常棒（虽然风格有点特立独行）的书是大卫·弗里德曼的《Hidden Order: The Economics of Everyday Life》。另外托马斯·索维尔的《Knowledge and Decisions》讨论的领域和哈耶克的《Use of Knowledge in Society》大体相同，但时代更新，可读性也更强。
…read one I have seen, and for the math phobic it has no equations. Another really good, if idiosyncratic, book is David Friedman's Hidden Order: The Economics of Everyday Life. Also Thomas Sowell's Knowledge and Decisions covers roughly the same ground as Hayek's Use of Knowledge in Society, but is newer and more readable.
……真正干活的人，所以在制定规章制度时哪怕真有考虑，也极少能顾及周全。要想深入理解其中的差异和由此引发的问题，建议读读托马斯·索维尔的《Knowledge and Decisions》。哈耶克的《Use of Knowledge in Society》也探讨了这一点，还有其他一些书和文章也有提及，但索维尔的写得更通俗好读，举的例子也更贴近现代（该书写于20世纪70年代末……
…actually doing the work so it is rarely, if ever, taken into proper account when formulating regulations. For a really good explanation of the differences and the problems caused, read Thomas Sowell's Knowledge and Decisions. Hayek's Use of Knowledge in Society also discusses this, as do other books and essays, but Sowell's is more readable and his examples are closer to contemporary (it was written in the late 1970s and…
……自由市场经济和小政府保守主义的底层前提也是如此。去读读托马斯·索维尔吧，他的很多书都讨论过这个问题，尤其是《A Conflict of Values》，以及讲得更深入的《Knowledge and Decisions》。
…underlying premise of free market economics and small-government conservatism, too. Go read some Thomas Sowell, a lot of his books discuss the issue, especially A Conflict of Values and, in more detail, Knowledge and Decisions.
我会列入这份书单的几本书：托马斯·索维尔的《Knowledge and Decisions》、司汤达的《Le Rouge et le Noir》、布克·T·华盛顿的《Up From Slavery》、乔治·奥威尔的《1984》。
Some books I would put on this list: Knowledge and Decisions by Thomas Sowell, Le Rouge et le Noir by Stendhal, Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington, 1984 by George Orwell.
同一作者写的《Knowledge and Decisions》也是本神作。
Knowledge and Decisions by the same is also a great book.
单靠专栏文章或随手摘录的名言绝不可能充分概括一位思想家——不过他的著作《Knowledge and Decisions》和《A Conflict of Visions》都可以称得上是传世杰作。
A column or collection of random quotes will never adequately summarize a thinker - however his books "Knowledge and Decisions" and "A Conflict of Visions" both rank as masterpieces.
