Chapter 16 Eat soft rice
Subtitle of this chapter: Three happy events in the master's life: publishing a book to become famous and die his wife
As a master's degree in economics in the 21st century, Yuan Yanqi, who has memorized the history of economics in the 20th century, naturally knows that the current mainstream economics community is engaged in a big debate about whether to have a surname or a surname. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoThe well-known economists of the time were involved in this debate about the viability of a planned economy under socialist public ownership.
Needless to say, as a neoclassical liberal university scholar, can Master Mises still sing the praises of a planned economy? Look at the "Edler" in the middle of his name (Edler literally means nobility, usually given to Jews. As a Habsburg aristocrat and Jewish elite, he was of course opposed to socialism.
PR Misera, who also worked as an economic adviser to the Austrian government, published an article entitled "Economic Calculations under Socialism" in the spring of this year, in which he denied the possibility of socialism in implementing economic calculations and rational allocation of resources.
A person with a level can say simple things complicated and complex things simple.
Yuan Yanqian is still a bit level. He knew that Mises's main argument for rejecting the planned economy was that the capitalist market was so complex that it could not be imitated, and therefore the planned economy could not allocate resources as efficiently as the invisible hand.
In fact, this argument is not entirely unproblematic, one is whether the capitalist market can really allocate resources effectively. Second, whether the effective allocation of resources is equivalent to the allocation of resources in accordance with the actual situation of each economy.
The former, in another nine years, will be understood when everyone watches the milk pour into the Hudson River; And the latter, and the latter, Su Xiu and TG's practice of violating the laws of the market economy and concentrating resources on heavy industry and infrastructure projects with long cycles and low returns, is it considered "effective"?
But it's not the Great Depression of 1929, and the capitalist world hasn't fallen to the point where it's waiting for Keynes and the mustache to save it. In 1920, when liberalism was in power, it was naturally more than enough to exchange Mises's "Socialism" for a doctorate in political economy.
The problem is that Yuan Yanqian knows that once he throws out this book, it will be tantamount to cutting himself off from the party-state and the people, and there is more than one party-state, and the people here do not refer to just 40,000 Chinese. Not to mention that the big and small figures in the international communist movement will not tolerate him for more than half a century in the future, in fact, even Sun Tiequan, who will not live for a few years, and Jiang Beijiao, who is handsome for 30 years, will not tolerate him, don't think that the two of them are doctors who studied in the United States around them, so they will really engage in the capitalist free market economy.
If Yuan Yanqian still eats in the economic circle in the future, he will not be treated much better than Mises, unless he waits until the 70s of this century, when neoclassical liberalism finally ushers in a second spring, which can not only counterattack Keynesianism, but also turn into Thatcher-Reagan Doctrine, which dominates the two great powers of Britain and the United States. Even more fortunately, at the same time "a vain fool" (Margaret Thatcher's comment) became the general secretary of the CPSU.
In fact, when Comrade Gorbachev came to power, Yuan Yanqian would only be 85 years old...... No kidding, old age is not old at all for the master; There is no disrespect at all, and some masters in their nineties are still begging for forty-year-old brides.
Imagine yourself at the age of 85 (if you live it) trembling onto the Nobel Prize podium...... Or buy a diploma from Clayton University and go back to China to eat and wait for the young master of the local master's family to die, and if it really can't work, go to the bank opened by the father-in-law to eat soft rice.
The problem is that this soft rice is not so tasty, and the reason is that his wife, to be exact, his fiancée is dead.
In their hometown, there was a man surnamed Zhou who made a fortune by opening an iron shop in Shanghai, and he organized a small bank with his fellow villagers in the same industry, called "Dianjin Bank", and he was appointed as the manager. He remembered the idiom of returning to his hometown, and one year he went back to the county on the Qingming Festival to visit the tomb and get to know the local people. Yuan Yanqian's father was the hope of a township, and Manager Zhou rarely had to come to visit, so he became a friend and climbed from a friend to a family. When he was still in high school, he was engaged to be the head of the family.
Of course, like the vast majority of masters of the Republic of China, he also rebelled against this arranged marriage. However, the original Yuan Yanqian had a weak temperament, and he was scolded by his father and gave up.
So he began to read Schopenhauer very early, and often wisely said to his classmates: "How can there be love in the world?" It's a reproductive impulse at all. ”
After graduating from high school, Yuan Yanqian entered Shanghai Hujiang University (the predecessor of Shanghai Institute of Technology) to continue her studies. In the blink of an eye, I am in my fourth year of college, and I am only waiting to graduate and get married next year. One day, my father sent a letter that said: "I received a telegram from my father-in-law, and I was shocked to learn that Shuying (his fiancée's maiden name) had typhoid fever, which was mistaken by Western medicine, and he passed away at 4 pm on the 13th of this month. The door is about to pass, and there are many good things, all of which are caused by your lack of blessings. ”
As a Western doctor, Yuan Yanqi's father wrote to his son that his daughter-in-law, who could get the real estate certificate without adding a name, was unfortunately killed by Western evil art because of a swing. This can only show that his son is not blessed, and a well-informed family like the old Yuan family will not go to be a doctor.
After the letter, he added a few sentences: "Saion lost his horse, and he was blessed to know that he got married three years ago, so my family will spend a lot of money this time." However, my family accumulates the door of virtue, and the marriage is over early, and the daughter-in-law may be able to get rid of disasters and prolong her life. Before marriage, don't be sad. But your father-in-law should go to a letter to condolence. ”
His father also knew about chaos theory, so he wrote at the end of the letter: "The old driver can't get a car because he lost his horse, and it's not necessarily a bad thing, what if he catches up with the crackdown?" If you had gotten married three years ago, my family would have been bleeding profusely this time. But if you had done the marriage three years ago, your daughter-in-law might not have to die because of the butterfly effect. You don't have to think much about it, but you should write a letter of condolence to your father-in-law.
In fact, Yuan Yanqian saw the happiness of a prisoner being pardoned at that time, but she also had a little pity for the short-lived girl. Since he enjoyed the joy of freedom, he was willing to let others subtract his sorrows, so he sent a long letter of condolence to the people who had not passed the door. Manager Zhou received the letter and felt that the child was polite, so he paid the director of the clerical department of the bank Wang for a reply. When the director of the clerical department saw the original letter, he greatly complimented the owner that this unpassed aunt was good at literature, science and calligraphy, and had a deep love for the deceased.
