Russell Roberts is Professor of Economics and the J. Fish and Lillian F. Smith Distinguished Scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. He is the author of The Choice: A Fable of Free Trade and Protectionism and is a frequent commentator on National Public Radio.
A love story that embraces the business and economic issues of the day? The Invisible Heart takes a provocative look at business, economics, and regulation through the eyes of Sam Gordon and Laura Silver, teachers at the exclusive Edwards School in Washington, D.C. Sam lives and breathes capitalism. He thinks that most government regulation is unnecessary or even harmful. He believes that success in business is a virtue. He believes that our humanity flourishes under economic freedom. Laura prefers Wordsworth to the Wall Street Journal . Where Sam sees victors, she sees victims. She wants the government to protect consumers and workers from the excesses of Sam's beloved marketplace. While Sam and Laura argue about how to make the world a better place, a parallel story unfolds across town. Erica Baldwin, the crusading head of a government watchdog agency, tries to bring Charles Krauss, a ruthless CEO, to justice. How are these two dramas connected? Why is Sam under threat of dismissal? Will Erica Baldwin find the evidence she needs? Can Laura love a man with an Adam Smith poster on his wall? The answers in The Invisible Heart give the reader a richer appreciation for how business and the marketplace transform our lives.

評分《緻命的均衡》並不是一個齣色的推理故事,如果你是為瞭看推理故事而讀這本書,可能會感到失望,但《緻命的均衡》目的不是要說一個精彩的推理故事,而是要說明一些經濟學的基本概念,因此讀書可能不會對推理故事有太大的期望,會原諒作者杜撰這個沒什麼可推的推理故事。以故事...
評分 評分因為這本書,我愛上瞭經濟學同時也愛上瞭經濟學思維。它不是枯燥的理論解說,也不是用一大堆的專業術語讓人深陷其中摸不著頭腦,以為經濟學就是數學的堆砌。對於非經濟學的人,看瞭這本書會深受吸引,心靈受到感動,讓人不自覺地想去探索現代生活中的問題,換一種眼光看世界...
