“为什么在冬天，纽约的流浪汉只能露宿街头，而城中空置公寓楼的住房数量却是流浪汉人数的四倍？为什么在莫斯科，近在咫尺的驱车距离内就坐拥欧洲大陆最肥沃的连片良田，人们却在挨饿？为什么在20世纪30年代的大萧条期间，失业率飙升至25%，而全美企业整体连续两年陷入巨额亏损？”——“所有这些大相径庭、却同样令人费解且本可避免的悲剧……

托马斯·索维尔的《基础经济学》。读起来不算轻松，但它彻底改变了我对激励机制和意外后果定律的思考方式。对于像我这样的人来说，有些事实确实很难让人接受……
"Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell. Not an easy read, but it deeply changed the way I think about incentive structures and the law of unintended consequences. It's a tough pill to swallow for people (like myself) who…
托马斯·索维尔的《基础经济学》。帮我更直观地理解了经济学。顺便说一句，这老头简直是个机器。他从80岁起几乎以一年一本的速度出书（现在已经92岁了）。
"Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell. Helped me gain a more intuitive understanding of economics. On a side note, the man is a machine. He's been writing close to a book a year since the age of 80 (he's 92 now).
……没了。随着租金暴跌，旧金山终于向反对发展的人证明了供求关系同样适用于住房。聪明人往往会绞尽脑汁试图推翻基础经济学。我经常在 HN 上看到长篇大论，那些绝顶聪明的人坚信供求法则“太小儿科了”或者“早就被彻底证伪了”等等。这本书是经典之作：https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Thomas-Sowell/dp/0465...
…gone. Through cratering rents San Francisco is finally proving to opponents of growth that supply and demand apply to housing too. Intelligent people will twist themselves in knots trying to disprove basic economics. I see long threads on HN all the time of brilliant people convinced that supply and demand is just "far too simple" or "totally disproved" etc. etc. This book is a classic https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Thomas-Sowell/dp/0465...
……说大白话有失他们的身份，’索维尔曾经说过，‘有些人甚至认为讲逻辑是对他们言论自由的违宪侵犯。’索维尔在这方面独树一帜。他的书《基础经济学》充满了极易让人产生共鸣的经济学实际应用案例。这是少数几本无论你的背景或学历高低都能读得津津有味的经济学书籍之一。
…plain English is beneath their dignity,” Sowell once said, “and some seem to regard logic as an unconstitutional infringement of their freedom of speech.” Sowell is unique in this respect. He's book, "Basic Economics" is full of extremely relatable examples of economics in practice. It's one of the few books on economics that's a great read regardless of your background or level of academic achievement.
我强烈推荐托马斯·索维尔的《基础经济学》。书名起得没什么新意，但我发现它非常适合作为深入了解更复杂概念之前的入门读物。http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-2nd-Ed-Citizens/dp/046...
I highly recommend Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell. The title is not very imaginative but I found it a great place to start before looking at more complicated concepts. http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-2nd-Ed-Citizens/dp/046...
托马斯·索维尔的《基础经济学》[1]是该领域的绝佳著作。篇幅挺长，但可读性极强，特别是里面的现实案例。尤其是对价格管制带来的意外后果的解释，写得极其精彩。……
Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics[1] is a superb book on the subject. It's lengthy but very readable, especially for its real-world examples. Particularly excellent are the explanations for the unintended consequences from price controls.…
