得到听书 单一的经济学思维在现实中有时行不通,我们要将人文视角引入经济研究才能让经济理论更贴近现实 经济学之所以缺乏解释力,或在很多问题上声誉不佳,就是缺乏人文精神和人文视角造成的。非理性对普通人和其他学者来说是显而易见的事实,在经济学中却成了一个了不起的发现,可见经济学在某些方面已经严重脱离现实 “刺猬派”学者为了追求简洁明了一以贯之,会忽略掉很多真实世界的信息甚至在学理论证中以偏概全对事物... 得到听书 单一的经济学思维在现实中有时行不通,我们要将人文视角引入经济研究才能让经济理论更贴近现实 经济学之所以缺乏解释力,或在很多问题上声誉不佳,就是缺乏人文精神和人文视角造成的。非理性对普通人和其他学者来说是显而易见的事实,在经济学中却成了一个了不起的发现,可见经济学在某些方面已经严重脱离现实 “刺猬派”学者为了追求简洁明了一以贯之,会忽略掉很多真实世界的信息甚至在学理论证中以偏概全对事物真相产生扭曲。相比之下,“狐狸型”学者的观点虽然平淡无奇,但是对事物的判断比较谨慎并且愿意根据反面信息修正自己的看法,所以即便不是一贯正确也不至于太离谱 抛下世间万物去坚持某种特定观点,会让你觉得很舒服,但是对预测未来没有任何帮助。要敞开胸怀拥抱其他的理论,时刻准备质疑自己的设想才是知识进步的源泉 (展开)
