《变化社会中的政治秩序》凝住的关于发展中国家的知识广度和分析洞见是惊人的，并确立了亨氏作为他同时代人中最杰出政治学家之一的声誉。首先，亨廷顿论辩说，政治衰朽至少和政治发展一样可能发生。新近独立国家的实际经历是一种愈演愈烈的社会和政治混乱。其次，他提出，现代性中的好东西常常向交错的目标运动。特别是在社会动员超越政治机构发展时，新的社会行为者发现他们无法参与政治而产生挫折感。其结果便是亨氏名之为“普力夺主义”(praetorianism)的状况，也是导致反叛、军事政变以及软弱和组织不力政府的主要原因。经济发展和政治发展不是同一事物的严丝合缝的组成部分。后者随着诸如政党和法制系统之类组织的设立或衍变为更复杂的形式而具有自身的、另类的逻辑。

Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy is the most famous book by Joseph Schumpeter in which he deals with capitalism, socialism and creative destruction. First published in 1942, it is largely unmathematical, compared with neoclassical works, focusing on the unexpected, rapid spurts of entrepreneur-driven growth instead of static models.
The book is unusual insomuch as it was written to appear sympathetic to socialism, beginning with an account of Karl Marx, in order to encourage socialists to read it. Schumpeter hoped they would achieve self-recognition of the problems with socialism in the light of the book, without having to be explicitly told: if the book appeared to be favourable to capitalism, he feared socialists, his target audience, would not bother to read it.

几年前，“数学之美”系列文章原刊载于谷歌黑板报，获得上百万次点击，得到读者高度评价。读者说，读了“数学之美”，才发现大学时学的数学知识，比如马尔可夫链、矩阵计算，甚至余弦函数原来都如此亲切，并且栩栩如生，才发现自然语言和信息处理这么有趣。
今年，作者吴军博士几乎把所有文章都重写了一遍，为的是把高深的数学原理讲得更加通俗易懂，让非专业读者也能领略数学的魅力。读者通过具体的例子学到的是思考问题的方式 —— 如何化繁为简，如何用数学去解决工程问题，如何跳出固有思维不断去思考创新。

The big economic story of our times is not the Great Recession. It is how China and India began to embrace neoliberal ideas of economics and attributed a sense of dignity and liberty to the bourgeoisie they had denied for so long. The result was an explosion in economic growth and proof that economic change depends less on foreign trade, investment, or material causes, and a whole lot more on ideas and what people believe.
Or so says Deirdre N. McCloskey in Bourgeois Dignity, a fiercely contrarian history that wages a similar argument about economics in the West. Here she turns her attention to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe to reconsider the birth of the industrial revolution and the rise of capitalism. According to McCloskey, our modern world was not the product of new markets and innovations, but rather the result of shifting opinions about them. During this time, talk of private property, commerce, and even the bourgeoisie itself radically altered, becoming far more approving and flying in the face of prejudices several millennia old. The wealth of nations, then, didn’t grow so dramatically because of economic factors: it grew because rhetoric about markets and free enterprise finally became enthusiastic and encouraging of their inherent dignity.
An utterly fascinating sequel to her critically acclaimed book The Bourgeois Virtues, Bourgeois Dignity is a feast of intellectual riches from one of our most spirited and ambitious historians—a work that will forever change our understanding of how the power of persuasion shapes our economic lives.

This `goldmine of concepts for understanding business and industrial organization' was originally published in 1959 but had a powerful influence on economists and business strategists ever since. The author combines rigorous theory with close observation of the real business world, and writes simply but with an original approach. Her focus on teams and organizational knowledge underlines contemporary discussion of 'organizational competences' and she has written a new introduction which assesses the book's impact and describes the subsequent development of her own ideas.

文学是可爱的。生活是好玩的。艺术是要有所牺牲的。
八十年代末，木心客居纽约时期，亦自他恢复写作、持续出书以来，纽约地面的大陆和台湾同行在异国谋饭之中，居然促成木心开讲“世界文学史”，忽忽长达五年的一场“文学的远征”——从1989年1月15日开课，到1994年1月9日最后一课，每位听课人轮流提供自家客厅，在座者有画家、舞蹈家、史家、雕刻家等等。
听课学生陈丹青说，“我们当年这样地胡闹一场，回想起来，近于荒谬的境界：没有注册，没有教室，没有课本，没有考试与证书，更没有赞助与课题费，不过是在纽约市皇后区、曼哈顿区、布鲁克林区的不同寓所中，团团坐拢来，听木心神聊。”
菜单开出来，大家选。从古希腊神话、新旧约，到诗经、楚辞，从中世纪欧洲文学，到二十世纪文学世界，东方西方通讲，知识灵感并作。其中听的听，讲的讲，“金句”纷披，兀自燃烧。“讲完后，一部文学史，重要的是我的观点。”木心说。古代，中世纪，近代，每个时代都能找到精神血统，艺术亲人。
他爱先秦典籍，只为诸子的文学才华；他以为今日所有伪君子身上，仍然活着孔丘；他想对他爱敬的尼采说：从哲学跑出来吧；他激赏拜伦、雪莱、海涅，却说他们其实不太会作诗；他说托尔斯泰可惜“头脑不行”，但讲到托翁坟头不设十字架，不设墓碑，忽而语音低弱了，颤声说：“伟大！”而谈及萨特的葬礼，木心脸色一正，引尼采的话：唯有戏子才能唤起群众巨大的兴奋。
木心开讲时六十二岁。多少民国书籍与读者，湮灭了。他的一生，密集伴随愈演愈烈的文化断层。他不肯断，而居然不曾断，这就是纽约世界文学史讲座潜藏的背景：在累累断层之间、之外、之后，木心始终将自己尽可能置于世界性的文学景观，倘若不是出走，这顽强而持久的挣扎，几乎濒于徒劳。
如今，听课学生陈丹青整理那五年那五册听课笔记，共八十五讲，逾四十万字，结集这本大书时，已不再将之仅仅看做“世界文学史讲座”。诚如木心所最早时设想的那样，这是他自己的“文学回忆录”，是一部“荒诞小说”，“在自己的身上，克服这个时代”。
这也是木心留给世界的礼物，文学的福音书。

Why has median income stopped rising in the US?
Why is the share of population that is working falling so rapidly?
Why are our economy and society are becoming more unequal?
A popular explanation right now is that the root cause underlying these symptoms is technological stagnation-- a slowdown in the kinds of ideas and inventions that bring progress and prosperity.
In Race Against the Machine, MIT's Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee present a very different explanation. Drawing on research by their team at the Center for Digital Business, they show that there's been no stagnation in technology -- in fact, the digital revolution is accelerating. Recent advances are the stuff of science fiction: computers now drive cars in traffic, translate between human languages effectively, and beat the best human Jeopardy! players.
As these examples show, digital technologies are rapidly encroaching on skills that used to belong to humans alone. This phenomenon is both broad and deep, and has profound economic implications. Many of these implications are positive; digital innovation increases productivity, reduces prices (sometimes to zero), and grows the overall economic pie.
But digital innovation has also changed how the economic pie is distributed, and here the news is not good for the median worker. As technology races ahead, it can leave many people behind. Workers whose skills have been mastered by computers have less to offer the job market, and see their wages and prospects shrink. Entrepreneurial business models, new organizational structures and different institutions are needed to ensure that the average worker is not left behind by cutting-edge machines.
In Race Against the Machine Brynjolfsson and McAfee bring together a range of statistics, examples, and arguments to show that technological progress is accelerating, and that this trend has deep consequences for skills, wages, and jobs. The book makes the case that employment prospects are grim for many today not because there's been technology has stagnated, but instead because we humans and our organizations aren't keeping up.

“This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.”
- Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook
“Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.”
- Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla
If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets.
The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things.
Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself.
Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique.
Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

What will the economy of the future look like? Where will advancing technology, job automation, outsourcing and globalization lead? This groundbreaking book by a Silicon Valley computer engineer explores these questions and shows how accelerating technology is likely to have a highly disruptive influence on our economy in the near future--and may well already be a significant factor in the current global crisis. THE LIGHTS IN THE TUNNEL employs a powerful thought experiment to explore the economy of the future. An imaginary "tunnel of lights" is used to visualize the economic implications of the new technologies that are likely to appear in the coming years and decades. The book directly challenges conventional views of the future and illuminates the danger that lies ahead if we do not plan for the impact of rapidly advancing technology. It also shows how the economic realities of the future might offer solutions to issues such as poverty and climate change.

《孔子家语》内容简介：著名史学家司马迁在千古名文《报任安书》中述说自己写作《史记》的宗旨：“网罗天下放失旧闻，考之行事，稽其成败兴坏之理，凡百三十篇，亦欲以究天人之际，通古今之变，成一家之言。”这段话震撼了古今无数莘莘学子的心灵。
“究天人之际，通古今之变，成一家之言”，不仅成为学术理想，也给后人留下两大永恒性研究课题。人和自然关系的研究是无穷尽的，古今之变也是长江大河，永远流淌。昨日之今，今日之古，今日之今，明日之古，环环相套，乃至无穷。

In the last 50 years the world has been completely transformed through the use of IT. We have now reached a new inflection point. Here we present, for the first time, how in-memory computing is changing the way businesses are run. Today, enterprise data is split into separate databases for performance reasons. Analytical data resides in warehouses, synchronized periodically with transactional systems. This separation makes flexible, real-time reporting on current data impossible. Multi-core CPUs, large main memories, cloud computing and powerful mobile devices are serving as the foundation for the transition of enterprises away from this restrictive model. We describe techniques that allow analytical and transactional processing at the speed of thought and enable new ways of doing business. The book is intended for university students, IT-professionals and IT-managers, but also for senior management who wish to create new business processes by leveraging in-memory computing.
