Power of the Market - The Pencil

推荐理由

There's not a single person in the world who could make this pencil.

说明

这是2008年由LibertyPen发布的一部讲解，主题归在Microeconomics & behavioral economics。它讲的是free market economics这一支里的具体问题，而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成：A three-minute excerpt from Milton Friedman's Free to Choose in which he uses a pencil to show that no single person knows how to make it. He argues that the free market coordinates countless strangers peacefully.这些读者给出的理由，核心是：HN uses it as the canonical illustration of decentralized production and global cooperation, often cited well outside economics threads.讲法不绑某一条新闻，过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2011年到2019年，有1位不同的读者在1个不同月份把它推荐出来，其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合用一集把一个概念补上的人。抓住它用的那个图像或类比，比背公式重要。如果已经会了基本定义，就把注意力放在它怎么把free market economics变成能跟着复述的例子。
