我非常笃信直接发钱解决问题的力量。罗特格尔·布雷格曼的《现实主义者的乌托邦》在这方面让我茅塞顿开。极少数的“害群之马”只有在放任他们的情况下才会毁掉整个机制——我们可以把他们可能的滥用行为，看作是帮助绝大多数人所必须承担的运营成本……
I'm a great believer in the power of cash to solve problems. Rutger Bregman's Utopia For Realists opened my eyes on this matter. The minority of "rotten apples" only spoil the concept if we let them - we can view their potential misuse as part of the operating cost of helping a large majority of people…
如果有人想进一步探究贫困与社会之间的关联，我强烈推荐罗特格尔·布雷格曼的著作《现实主义者的乌托邦》。历史上有些很有意思的案例：不少经过充分论证、性价比极高且极具前瞻性的社会福利项目，仅仅因为当权者的偏见就被直接叫停了。我老是听到有人提阿兰·兰德……
For anyone who wants to investigate the connection between poverty and society further, I can highly recommend, Rutger Bregman's book 'Utopia for realists'. It is funny to see cases in history where well researched,cost effective and progressive social programs have been stopped due to plain prejudice from those in power. I keep hearing Ayn Rand mentioned…
……这种趋势。比如可以看看斯蒂芬·平克的《人性中的善良天使：暴力与人性的历史》https://www.amazon.com/Better-Angels-Our-Nature-Violence/dp/... 或者罗特格尔·布雷格曼的《现实主义者的乌托邦：如何建立一个理想世界》的第一章 https://www.amazon.com/Utopia-Realists-Build-Ideal-World/dp/...
…trend. See for example The Better Angels of Our Nature: A History of Violence and Humanity, by Steven Pinker https://www.amazon.com/Better-Angels-Our-Nature-Violence/dp/... Or the first chapter of Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World, by Rutger Bregman https://www.amazon.com/Utopia-Realists-Build-Ideal-World/dp/...
确实如此。我很受罗特格尔·布雷格曼的启发，他在其著作《现实主义者的乌托邦》中有句名言：“维持贫困的代价，比消除贫困的代价更高。”钱到底赚到什么时候才算够？手里都有几十亿了，真的还在乎再多个十亿吗？直接给穷人发钱是管用的：https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/06/utopia...
Indeed. I'm inspired by Rutger Bregman who famously states in his book Utopia For Realists: > "It's more expensive to sustain poverty than it is to eradicate it" When is enough, enough? Do you really need that other billion when you already have a few? Giving money to the poor works: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/06/utopia...
……激发创业精神、改善教育、增进健康、促进更好的家庭教养，并为试点地区带来更出色的经济成效。这实际上是在省钱。可以去看看罗特格尔·布雷格曼的演讲、研究以及他的书《现实主义者的乌托邦》。
…entrepreneurship, better education, better health, better parenting, and better economic outcomes for the locales applying it. It saves money. See Rutger Bregman’s Talks and research as well as his book Utopia for realists.
