"Now more than ever, at a time when globally most schools are closed... with more than 1.5 billion learners and students affected worldwide... and people obliged to stay at home... the power of books can be leveraged to combat isolation, to reinforce ties between people, and to expand our horizons, while stimulating our minds and creativity" is what the United Nations is stating. "Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you" - Harold Bloom |

《爱+经济学》简介 当今世界面临三重危机:人与社会关系的危机、人与人关系的危机、人与其生存环境的危机。这三重危机有愈演愈烈之势,已经危机到当今的社会秩序,而原有的经济学框架对此解释发力更无法提供解决之道。本书认为危机爆发的原因是正外部性缺失,同时本书综合各个学科对爱的研究,认为爱的本质是正外部性,并在此基础上构建"爱+经济学模型",提出了"爱+经济学原理",对当前的社会危机进行深刻解读,同时分别从微观的消费、旅游、企业、教会和宏观的教育、垄断、专利和创新等关乎经济发展和人民福祉的方面进行分析,并给出应对之策。 | The Better Sinner - A Practical Guide on Corruption Corruption is as old as humanity, though the costly and large-scale efforts to address it have only been developed in recent decades. Despite the numerous standards, regulations and laws that exist, corruption is everywhere and may well be on the rise. Christian faith teaches that, while we cannot be perfect, we can become ‘better sinners'. This book offers advice on how to overcome corruption especially in business |
