Paper and Iron: Hamburg Business and German Politics in the Era of Inflation, 1897-1927
作者: [英国] 尼尔·弗格森 中信出版社 2012 - 6
《纸与铁》提出了全新的观点,以颇有影响力的汉堡工商界为切入点,分析了为通货膨胀政策辩护的那些理由存在的漏洞,指出通货膨胀严重危害了德国经济,侵蚀了资产阶级社会的根基,使魏玛共和国这个福利国家失信于民。此外,通货膨胀也没能使赔款减少。作者剖析了长期以来德国政治经济体系的弊端。不仅揭示了魏玛共和国的失败根源可以追溯到威廉德国时期,而且还为分析第三帝国的兴起提供了不同的视角。在《纸与铁》德国经济灾难和政治之间关系的生动阐述中,相信你一定会从一个全新的角度理解德国通胀。
1923年德国的恶性通货膨胀是历史上少数影响深远的经济事件之一,人们普遍认为它是导致希特勒发迹的根源。然而,近年来有很多历史学家认为,通货膨胀政策不但刺激了经济增长,而且还帮助德国减少了赔款,因此对于1918年以后的德国是利大于弊。当时的德国没有其他可行的替代方案。

Gut Feelings 豆瓣
作者: Gerd Gigerenzer Viking Adult 2007 - 7
Why is split second decision-making superior to deliberation? Gut Feelings delivers the science behind Malcolm Gladwell??s Blink
Reflection and reason are overrated, according to renowned psychologist Gerd Gigerenzer. Much better qualified to help us make decisions is the cognitive, emotional, and social repertoire we call intuition??a suite of gut feelings that have evolved over the millennia specifically for making decisions. ??Gladwell drew heavily on Gigerenzer??s research. But Gigerenzer goes a step further by explaining just why our gut instincts are so often right. Intuition, it seems, is not some sort of mystical chemical reaction but a neurologically based behavior that evolved to ensure that we humans respond quickly when faced with a dilemma??

The Condition of the Working Class in England 豆瓣
作者: Friedrich Engels Penguin Classics 1987 - 6
This forceful polemic explores the staggering human cost of the Industrial Revolution in Victorian England. Engels paints an unforgettable picture of daily life in the new industrial towns, and for miners and agricultural workers in a savage indictment of the greed of the bourgeoisie. His later preface, written for the first English edition of 1892 and included here, brought the story up-to-date in the light of forty years' further reflection.
Goethe. Deutschlands innere Wandlung. Das Problem der historischen Zeit. Rembrandt 豆瓣
作者: Georg Simmel Suhrkamp 2003 - 9
Dieser Band vereinigt die beiden berühmten Monographien Goethe von 1912 und Rembrandt vom 1916, ergänzt um die einst separat erschienenen Vorträge Deutschlands innere Wandlung von 1914 und Das Problem der historischen Zeit von 1916. Die beiden Schriften Goethe und Rembrandt stießen bei ihrem Erscheinen auf starke Resonanz und große Beachtung in der Literatur- und Kunstwissenschaft und gehören bis heute fraglos zu den bekanntesten und einflußreichsten Studien Simmels.
Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart 豆瓣
作者: Gerd Gigerenzer / Peter M. Todd Oxford University Press 2000 - 9
Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart invites readers to embark on a new journey into a land of rationality that differs from the familiar territory of cognitive science and economics. Traditional views of rationality tend to see decision makers as possessing superhuman powers of reason, limitless knowledge, and all of eternity in which to ponder choices. To understand decisions in the real world, we need a different, more psychologically plausible notion of rationality, and this book provides it. It is about fast and frugal heuristics--simple rules for making decisions when time is pressing and deep thought an unaffordable luxury. These heuristics can enable both living organisms and artificial systems to make smart choices, classifications, and predictions by employing bounded rationality. But when and how can such fast and frugal heuristics work? Can judgments based simply on one good reason be as accurate as those based on many reasons? Could less knowledge even lead to systematically better predictions than more knowledge? Simple Heuristics explores these questions, developing computational models of heuristics and testing them through experiments and analyses. It shows how fast and frugal heuristics can produce adaptive decisions in situations as varied as choosing a mate, dividing resources among offspring, predicting high school drop out rates, and playing the stock market. As an interdisciplinary work that is both useful and engaging, this book will appeal to a wide audience. It is ideal for researchers in cognitive psychology, evolutionary psychology, and cognitive science, as well as in economics and artificial intelligence. It will also inspire anyone interested in simply making good decisions.
Rationality for Mortals: How People Cope with Uncertainty Goodreads 豆瓣
作者: Gerd Gigerenzer Oxford University Press, USA 2008 - 5 其它标题: Rationality for Mortals
Gerd Gigerenzer's influential work examines the rationality of individuals not from the perspective of logic or probability, but from the point of view of adaptation to the real world of human behavior and interaction with the environment. Seen from this perspective, human behavior is more rational than it might otherwise appear. This work is extremely influential and has spawned an entire research program.

This volume (which follows on a previous collection, Adaptive Thinking , also published by OUP) collects his most recent articles, looking at how people use "fast and frugal heuristics" to calculate probability and risk and make decisions. It includes a newly writen, substantial introduction, and the articles have been revised and updated where appropriate. This volume should appeal, like the earlier volumes, to a broad mixture of cognitive psychologists, philosophers, economists, and others who study decision making.
