具体描述

Here is a fresh, intriguing, and, above all, authoritative book about how our sometimes hidden positions in various social structures--our human networks--shape how we think and behave, and inform our very outlook on life. Inequality, social immobility, and political polarization are only a few crucial phenomena driven by the inevitability of social structures. Social structures determine who has power and influence, account for why people fail to assimilate basic facts, and enlarge our understanding of patterns of contagion--from the spread of disease to financial crises. Despite their primary role in shaping our lives, human networks are often overlooked when we try to account for our most important political and economic practices. Matthew O. Jackson brilliantly illuminates the complexity of the social networks in which we are--often unwittingly--positioned and aims to facilitate a deeper appreciation of why we are who we are. Ranging across disciplines--psychology, behavioral economics, sociology, and business--and rich with historical analogies and anecdotes, The Human Network provides a galvanizing account of what can drive success or failure in life.

本书关注不同人际（厂际、国际）网络的形成，及其所呈现的相应模式。这些网络模式塑造了主体的权力结构，信念系统与行为决策，并进一步帮助我们理解经济不平等，社会流动性缺失、政治极化等议题。 整理下个人有兴趣的部分： 1. 度量 a. Centrality i. Degree centality：度量流...

用户评价

读过点皮毛，希望能读全本

Very clear writing with attractive cases and frontier research. It seems that the author has special curiosities on China, quoting Confucius and even illustrating Twenty-four Filial Piety stories. For we PhD students, another book 'Social and Economic Networks' may be better for academic training.

我们这一行有一些不太理想的倾向，比如鼓励细致分工。但总有一些出色的学者像Matt Jackson，视野开阔，思想深邃，对人和善，培养出很多优秀的学生，写出技术上实用的教科书，还能写出献给大众的畅销书……读的时候发现原来他在写论文的时候，在悄悄地积累各个领域相关的研究。

可以结合郑路的社会网络二十讲看

很有趣的书，阅读体验很轻松
