你會得到大驚喜!!

Economics is not a field that is known for good writing. Charts, yes. Sparkling prose, no.

Except, that is, when it comes to Deirdre Nansen McCloskey. Her conversational and witty yet always clear style is a hallmark of her classic works of economic history, enlivening the dismal science and engaging readers well beyond the discipline. And now she’s here to share the secrets of how it’s done.

Economical Writing is itself economical: a collection of thirty-five pithy rules for making your writing clear, concise, and effective. Proceeding from big-picture ideas to concrete strategies for improvement at the level of the paragraph, sentence, or word, McCloskey shows us that good writing, after all, is not just a matter of taste—it’s a product of adept intuition and a rigorous revision process. Debunking stale rules, warning us that “footnotes are nests for pedants,” and offering an arsenal of readily applicable tools and methods, she shows writers of all levels of experience how to rethink the way they approach their work, and gives them the knowledge to turn mediocre prose into magic.

At once efficient and digestible, hilarious and provocative, Economical Writing lives up to its promise. With McCloskey as our guide, it’s impossible not to see how any piece of writing—on economics or otherwise—can, and perhaps should be, a pleasure to read.

"That's not writing, that's typing." Deirdre attributed this quote to Hemingway, which is inaccurate. Truman Capote said it. Click here. But the real problem is the premise that you can split content from style. It's wrong. Content and style are yolk and w...

作者本身很傳奇，本來是個“he”後來變成瞭“she”，有興趣可以搜搜TA的事跡。在經濟學領域專門從事“經濟學寫作”的研究，本身就非常特立獨行瞭。她的觀點更加獨特和叛逆，鄙視經濟學中一切帶著學究氣的遣詞造句，統稱為“five-dollar words”，以及一些不知所雲的錶達方式。...

開學後就隻能讀這種書瞭。還好是required reading。Deirdre文筆sassy到不行啊。因為書中gender pronoun看得我暈乎，查瞭一下McCloskey竟然還是LGBT領袖人物啊。53 trans瞭，Male to female。這麼一來全片充滿諷刺性語言也是很閤適瞭哈哈哈。
