Rather than being enslaved by satisfaction, we need the liberty to be dissatisfied. The best way to see your country, your society, is to see it through the eyes of an outsider,a refugee.
The epilogue is something like Zima blue.
The epilogue’s so impressive! Throughout the book, I’ve learnt not only how credit, surplus and commodification play inevitable roles in the whole process of today’s market society, but what we dismiss so much, like exploitation, inequality and contamination actually resonate with the principles we embraced, i.e freedom. Anyway be alert, peace

很有趣的一本经济学科普书(popular economics)。作者引经据典，通过文学典故做类比，生动地简述了市场经济的原理与利弊，还是值得一读的。

#ReadingChallenge06/24 让我升起“如果早读了这本书就不会那么排斥经济学”的经济学入门书籍。作者以给女儿对话的口吻，摒弃所有数据分析和高深术语，形象简洁地介绍了当代经济学概念如何形成（债务、货币、劳动力市场等）以及社会如何演变到如今的运行模式（事实上涵盖了不少思想著作，如不平等一章基于戴蒙德），以希腊神话做类比十分独特。作者是经济学+数学博士，是经济学教授，也在希腊债务危机时当过财政部长和“三驾马车”谈判借贷救助，学识和实践经验深厚，因此在epilogue里对经济学的批判让我信服（不是会用数学就是科学家，经济学家更像思想者）。当初如果能退几步从外部看这个学科，学习心态会调整得平和很多。

用简单的生活例子去诠释经济学原理 一边看一遍联想到最近的大环境 突然恍然大悟

经济学入门看看，总体不错。不过浅出没有很深入，个人倾向有点强。
