你可能身陷其中而不自知新古典經濟學大家費雪的經典著作《貨幣幻覺》揭示對金錢的誤解，帶你看清貨幣價值的真相《貨幣幻覺》（The Money Illusion）是歐文‧費雪於1928年出版的經濟學經典，旨在闡釋人們在經濟決策中常受貨幣價值誤導，而忽略實際購買力的現象。舉例來說，我們總以為貨幣的價值就像重量或長度是恆久不變的，總以為手上的1美元不管何時絕對能買到等值的物品，殊不知在物換星移後，1美元可能買到更少的商品，我們之前的「以為」就是費雪所提出的「貨幣幻覺」。費雪撰寫此書的當時正是一次世界大戰戰後，戰爭發生期間最大的不穩定便是貨幣的價值，只是一般人認為物價上漲是因為供需問題，而無法聯想到與貨幣有關，或許這可以放在單一貨品上漲，但如果萬物齊漲呢？人們還是認為每樣物品都供不應求嗎？回到費雪提出的觀念，這就是通貨膨脹，貨幣相對貶值了，簡單來說就是購買力下降。即便是在21世紀，大眾都有貨幣貶值的概念，也很難察覺，費雪在本書中以淺顯、生動的例子，帶領讀者進入經濟學的領域，解釋何謂通貨膨脹，通貨緊鎖，並由此點出一般大眾的錯覺。而由於貨幣不穩定的狀態，衍生出許多社會問題：‧社會不公平‧商業、工業和就業情況的混亂這兩項問題在無法可解的情況下，會漸漸演變成社會不滿，勞動階級的工資調升幅度不如物價上漲的速度，就會對資方產生怨懟，費雪在書中提出某位精神科醫生對於這種現象很感興趣，他認為不穩定的貨幣有如一種社會精神病，精神病患不知道什麼讓他們感到苦惱，只是不停抱怨，同樣的，社會大眾不理解通貨膨脹帶來的惡果，只感覺到有人以犧牲他們的利益獲利。費雪指出，很多人因為通貨膨脹或通貨緊縮不自知而從此無法翻身，卻有另一批人卻看到了機會。莎士比亞在《凱撒大帝》（Julius Caesar）劇中的一句話十分貼切的表達了當時的現象：「人生的浪潮有起有落，若能緊抓浪起之時，就能順勢而為，前往致富的道路。」費雪認為，在貨幣不穩定的年代，不僅是個人，銀行與政府也要有相對的應對措施，雖然穩定貨幣不是解決社會問題的萬能仙丹，但至少在貨幣穩定後，會減少社會不滿的現象，自然許多經濟、金融問題也迎刃而解。
