A History of Interest Rates 以极具可读性的笔触，梳理了横跨四个千年经济史的利率走势与借贷实践。尽管工业革命前的数据相对匮乏，作者 Homer 和 Sylla 仍对主要经济体的货币市场与借贷行为进行了详尽透彻的分析。贯穿全书分析的核心论点在于：“任何工业国家自由市场的长期利率，只要绘制得当，就能构成反映该国经济与政治健康状况的晴雨表。”考虑到利率在当今时代的剧烈波动

……支付的利息，这只是次要部分。“Cattle”（牲畜）这个词也是从“kaput”演变来的。其他源自“kaput”的词还有“chapter”（章节）、“chief”（首领）、“caudillo”（独裁元首）。我这些知识来自西德尼·霍默（Sidney Homer）的《利率史》（A History of Interest Rates），真是一本神书，Amazon Kindle 上就能买到，强烈推荐给所有对金融史感兴趣的人。S.H. 在书里是这么写的：“牲畜养殖为我们提供了大量的金融术语……
…interest paid, which is the secondary part. The word "Cattle" also comes from "kaput". Other words coming from "kaput" are "chapter", "chief", "caudillo". My source for this is the AMAZING BOOK "A History of Interest Rates", by Sidney Homer, which is available on Amazon Kindle and is highly recommended for anyone interested in financial history. Here is S.H.: "Cattle breeding has supplied us with many financial terms…
……有些社会从来没有经历过封建主义，而是在新石器时代随着牲畜的驯化直接一步跨进了资本主义。冷知识：“capital”（资本）这个词其实来自 cattle（牲畜）。推荐大家去读西德尼·霍默的《利率史》。所以只要马克思只评论18世纪的英国，那他绝对没毛病。工厂工人的异化、经济剩余、贪婪的金融家——这些拿来描述……都很贴切。
…some societies never experienced feudalism and jumped straight into capitalism with the domestication of cattle in the neolithic era. Fun Fact: The word "capital" comes from cattle. I recommend reading A History of Interest Rates by Sydney Homer. So as long as Marx sticks to commentary on 18th Century England then he's golden. Alienation of factory workers, economic surplus, rapacious financiers -- it's all good stuff to describe…
……到时候，我们现行政策那像滚雪球一样的副作用就会彻底失效，届时就需要一套新体制了。我不知道具体是什么时候。要想宏观把握全局，我推荐西德尼·霍默的《利率史》。读起来非常过瘾，里面探讨了长期的利率周期体制，以及触发这些体制转变的各种诱因。至于说试图去择时、预测这些体制转换的时机，我看还是别费劲了。你能做的就是……
…point, the snowballing side effects of our current policies will just stop working, at which point a new regime will be needed. I don't know when. For a big picture view, I recommend Sydney Homer's A History of Interest Rates. It's a great read and discusses long term interest rate regimes as well as various triggers that changed them. In terms of trying to time these regime changes, I wouldn't bother. What you can do is…
……依然成立。人们可以争论谁来掌控资本，允许什么样的产权形式，但所有经济理论都默认了资本的存在。推荐西德尼·霍默的《利率史》，他在书里追溯了从新石器时代一直到20世纪的利率演变。如果你想知道古埃及时期、早期非洲社会或者美洲原住民……收取的利率是多少……
…stands. People can argue who has control over capital, and what kinds of property rights are allowed, but the existence of capital is presupposed by all economic theories. I recommend Sydney Homer's A History of Interest Rates in which he traces interest rates from neolithic period up to the 20th Century. If you want to know what interest rates were charged in the time of ancient Egypt, or early African societies, or Native…
那位作者写的《债：第一个5000年》（Debt: The First 5,000 Years）调研和论证太拉胯了，是我过去二十年里在亚马逊退掉的少数几本书之一。（霍默和西拉合著的《利率史》依然是人类债务史上最具权威性的著作。它最初写于1963年，我一直希望能看到一本该领域的现代更新版。）跟这篇文章类似——里面充斥着大量的……
The subject’s book “Debt: The First 5,000 Years” was so poorly researched and argued, it’s one of the few books I’ve returned to Amazon in the past two decades. (“A History of Interest Rates” by Homer & Sylla, remains the definitive history of debt among humankind. Originally written in 1963, I’d been hoping to find a modern update to the subject matter.) Similar to this article - lots of…
……没有央行的时候是什么样吗？但凡懂点行的人，都不可能觉得没有央行我们反而过得更好。这种看法既幼稚又无知。去读读《摩根财团》（House Of Morgan），读读威利出版的《利率史》。多读点正经书吧，别总是在维基百科上搜东西来给你原本就荒谬的观点站台了。读完那些书，你绝不可能还得得出‘废除央行是件……’的结论。
…things were like without central banks? No one that knows what they are talking about can possibly think we were better off without central banks. It is a childish and clueless view. House Of Morgan, History of Interest Rates from Wiley. Try reading some books instead of looking up things on wiki to back up your already nonsense beliefs. You can not read those books and come away thinking getting rid of central banks is a…
