Chapter 51: The Bookstore (2)

ps: The content of today's two chapters may be uncomfortable for some students, the main plot needs, and some students who ask about the bibliography can refer to the following......

The two talked about the interesting things about the school again, and the conversation turned to Chang Tianhao and asked Chang Tianhao: "You also come to pick a book on economics, and what can you recommend to me?"

Because Chang Tianhao's college entrance examination score was higher than hers, she subconsciously thought that the other party had more knowledge than herself, Chang Tianhao did not shirk, and pointed to the "Concise Course of Western Economics" with a broken cover at hand: "This is a book by Mr. Yin Bocheng of Hujiang University, which is a simple introduction, you can take a look at ......."

"Okay, then I'll buy a copy. ”

"You don't have to buy it, if you don't dislike it, I'll buy this book and give it to you. Chang Tianhao smiled, "When I start school, there will be textbooks to be sent, and it will be a waste if I buy them......"

"Then I'll pay, you helped me chase the rats just now, and I haven't thanked you yet, I'll treat you to a cold drink later." ”

"I really don't need to, I scared you just now, so let's apologize. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll buy the book, can you invite me to a drink later?"

Little Bourgeois Tsuneben wanted to push it again, but suddenly thought that he could spend more time with the girl after drinking a drink, so he said, "It's okay, it's okay......"

The girl on the other side smiled, although she only smiled slightly, but the smile seemed to overflow with all the charm, which made Chang Tianhao feel excited.

Since he wanted to recommend the book, Chang Tianhao said it, and he clicked on the "Economics" in his hand: "This is the masterpiece of Paul Samuelson, the winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize in Economics, known as the last generalist in economics, and it is also a classic textbook of economics in American universities, a must-see!"

He picked up another copy: "This is "Political Economy" compiled by Mr. Jiang Xuemo of Hujiang University, it is very good, you can take it and see it, he is also the first Chinese translator of "The Count of Monte Cristo", although many people think that he translated it from the English translation, but I think that other versions are more than loyal and not verve enough. ”

"I'm reading the Shanghai translation, so I'll take a look at what you said next time. ”

"Western Economics" is a basic course, you can also read Mr. Gao Hongye's works, compared to Mr. Yin is more substantial, domestic financial colleges and universities use this book to lay the foundation, but I think you can just turn it down, and your school is expected to send a new textbook when it opens. ”

"How is this book of International Economics?"

Seeing the girl pick up the book of Huamin of Hujiang University, Chang Tianhao was stunned: the book that had just been published was put on the table, and Xinhua Bookstore moved quickly.

But as for the book, he showed a crying and laughing look, and said again and again: "Put down this book......

"What's the matter, isn't this also a book by Hujiang Bodao?"

Chang Tianhao sighed: "You just flip through it?"

The girl was frightened after flipping through a few pages at random: the page full of equations and equations, just like reading a book from heaven, and reading the text a few more times made her feel a little painful.

She frowned, "Is it so difficult?"

"I heard the seniors say that this teacher is very good and knowledgeable, but this book, you know, sometimes for the title...... How to say, the radish is fast and does not wash the mud. ”

Chang Tianhao thought to himself: Don't say that you can't understand this book now, I almost didn't go crazy by this book when I graduated and went to graduate school.

"If you really want to study International Economics, you have to look at Paul A. R. Krugman's work, he is so easy to understand, easy to understand...... In 92, he gave a speech on economics on TV and helped Clinton succeed in the election, but his personality was too straightforward and he couldn't hide some words, so although he made great contributions to Clinton's victory, the presidential economic adviser turned out to be not him. The year before last, he published Popular Internationalism, which boldly predicted the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, and as you can see, this prediction was verified in Thailand last year...... I think he's going to win the Nobel Prize in economics sooner or later. ”

"Are you familiar with Krugman?"

"Krugman counts me as an academic icon, to be exact. When this gentleman was a student at MIT, he took history classes every day, but he didn't learn much about economics...... You know, this is a historian who is delayed by economics, or forced by life. ”

Hearing Chang Tianhao talk about "forced by life" again, the girl laughed out loud, this time the laughter was a little loud, and all the people around looked over, panicked, she quickly shut up, took three steps and made two steps to bow her head and go to the checkout.

Chang Tianhao asked the salesman at the back of the line: "Is there any Krugman's "International Economics"?"

"Nope. ”

"That'...... Is there his Popular Internationalism?"

"No, there isn't. ”

"So, is there Gregory Mankiw's "Principles of Economics"? I asked the English version...... Chang Tianhao knew that the book was only published in April 1998, but before it was published, it had been bought for a high manuscript fee of 1.4 million US dollars, and then more than 300 American universities quickly listed it as an economics textbook.

The salesman was obviously impatient: "English version, you go to the foreign bookstore to have a look, we are all Chinese books!"

Chang Tianhao spread his hands and only settled the account with the book of "Economics" in his hand, he bet that he would be crazy if he asked again.

"Do you go to a foreign bookstore? I remember there's a cold drink kiosk over there......

The girl thought about it and nodded involuntarily: "Okay......"

The foreign bookstore was deserted, but Chang Tianhao found a lot of books he wanted, and after a while, he got "A History of Western Economics" from the shelf. E. Buckhouse) and A History of Economic Thought (Stanley A. Brown) L. Blue).

"You can read these two books if you are interested, but the kernel is different. Buckhouse's book, focusing on the chronology, focuses on the analysis of each era and the corresponding evolution of academic thought, and has a strong sense of the times, for example, after the economic crisis in 1929, the mainstream of economic thought slowly began to shift from liberalism to Keynesianism. Stanley's analysis is from an academic school, you can see the evolution of each school, such as talking about Chinese academic figures: Confucianism follows the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, Cheng Zhu Lixue, and Yangming Xinxue, Confucianism is Confucianism, but ancient Confucianism and Confucianism, Confucianism and Confucianism, are completely two different things, and now talk about Neo-Confucianism, saying that it is revival, in fact, many people sell dog meat with sheep's heads. The same is true of economics, which also bears the name of neoclassical, and Alfred Marshall is not the same as the neoclassical of the Chicago School. ”

Chang Tianhao thought for a while and added: "Buckhouse's book is a chronicle, and Stanley's book is a chronicle." ”

The girl couldn't interject, but subconsciously asked, "What did Marshall say?"

"I have talked a lot, the core is the equilibrium price theory, but the one that is most closely related to the current is a ......" Chang Tianhao asked, "The general secretary proposed a major reform of the distribution method in the report of the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, what is it?"

"Test me?" said the other side without hesitation, "to combine distribution according to work with distribution according to factors of production." ”

Distribution according to work is Marx's viewpoint, and distribution according to factors of production is Marshall's viewpoint. Chang Tianhao said sarcastically, "Some scholars in our country have vigorously attacked other people's Western economics as vulgar economics, saying no, but their bodies are very honest." ”

The girl may not understand this sarcasm, or she may have understood it and deliberately pretended not to understand - Chang Tianhao thought it was the latter, and posed that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

"Come, I'll test you again, what do you think of Kautsky?"

The opposite side thought for a moment and said: "The revisionists of the Second International, who made a resolution on the First World War called a rubber stamp, said that Lenin was a traitor to the proletariat. ”

Chang Tianhao smiled: "The basic skills of the textbook are very solid, and I have also read the small print annotations, but the history is much more complicated than the textbook, Kautsky is the compilation of the fourth volume of "Capital", and his exposition of the Soviet Union, later I think it is correct, about revisionism, he put forward ,...... The trend of monopoly development will be from domestic monopoly to global monopoly, and finally to the global trust. If you look at the current transnational conglomerates, do you think he is wrong? Isn't it ironic to say that imperialism is the highest stage of capitalist development, and that this highest stage has been almost 100 years now, and that imperialism is still alive and well, and that the gravediggers who vowed to bury it have fallen down themselves?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, couldn't speak for a long time, and muttered to herself: "I really don't know this." ”

"If Bernstein and Kautsky's revision of Marx's theory of entering the imperialist stage is revisionism, then Lenin's theory that the success of the socialist revolution in the weakest imperialist countries and the success of China's revolution in semi-colonial and semi-feudal society is also a revision of the Marxist-Leninist classic's view that the socialist revolution will break out in the most developed capitalist countries.

The girl felt that Chang Tianhao's last question was very sharp and imposing, she didn't know what to say for a while, she only felt that the person opposite was so powerful, and her eyes suddenly became bright......
