Much of the moral fervor behind the drive for equality of outcome comes from the widespread belief that it is not fair that some children should have a great advantage over others simply because they happen to have wealthy parents. Of course it is not fair. However, unfairness can take many forms. It can take the form of the inheritance of property—bonds and stocks, houses, factories; it can also take the form of the inheritance of talent—musical ability, strength, mathematical genius. The inheritance of property can be interfered with more readily than the inheritance of talent. But from an ethical point of view, is there any difference between the two? Yet many people resent the inheritance of property but not the inheritance of talent. (查看原文)
Look at the same issue from the point of view of the parent. If you want to assure your child a higher income in life, you can do so in various ways. You can buy him (or her) an education that will equip him to pursue an occupation yielding a high income; or you can set him up in a business that will yield a higher income than he could earn as a salaried employee; or you can leave him property, the income from which will enable him to live better. Is there any ethical difference among these three ways of using your property? Or again, if the state leaves you any money to spend over and above taxes, should the state permit you to spend it on riotous living but not to leave it to your children? (查看原文)

未免有些矫枉过正。无政府主义的绝对自由市场中会涌现出难以预料如卡特尔的怪物来遏制其自由度,巨头会被孕育出来,并制定秩序来确保自身利益及维护市场稳定,当发展至极致时政府再次应运而生

拍大腿的经典著作,很多章节在与现实的对照中反复读了几遍,理想主义的光芒照耀,自由平等的经济学基础,对政府干预经济抽丝剥茧的利弊分析,过足了理论的干瘾之后又有种深深的无奈。

我是在jd买的台版书,原作者是个天才,牛逼的地方在于观察力,我估计他习惯用客观的视角去看(统计)身边一切习以为常的的事物,在生活中应该是小心眼。

如果要列一个今生必读书单,一定要有这本书! 有些用词和大陆版本不一样,考虑敏感的地方不多,而且是多年前的定版,直接读大陆的版本好些。

专门从台湾带来这个版本的翻译,读来艰涩难懂,推荐张琦翻译的版本
