打破認知盲區，破解政經騙局 經濟學家張夏準教你看懂政策與市場的利益邏輯 從房價到通膨，從薪資到福利政策， 同樣的問題，不同經濟學家卻得出完全相反的政策主張， 身為公民的我們，不該盲目接受任何一種答案。 跟著張夏準認識經濟學，看懂是誰受益、誰付出代價， 才能在複雜的經濟議題中做出明智判斷。 為什麼同樣是談房價、薪資、通膨、稅制，一位經濟學家說「市場會自動修正」，另一位卻主張「政府必須大幅介入」？為什麼有人把自由貿易視為成長引擎，有人卻指出那是殖民與壓迫？ 讀完這12堂課，你將學會先問三個關鍵問題： 「基於哪一種經濟學派？」 「誰會因此得利？」 「誰會付出代價？」 每當聽到看似堅不可摧的結論時，先質疑「他用的是哪一套假設？」 ──而這就是思辯的起點。 本書重點 • 九大經濟學派――「雞尾酒工具箱」打造你的觀點（見第四章） 一把9大經濟學派的「瑞士刀」：從古典學派的階級分析到凱因斯的不確定性，從馬克思的生產革命到行為學派的有限理性，面對複雜世界時，要有分辨「政府官員或專家學者是否胡說八道」的能力。 • 我們是如何走到今天的？――資本主義簡史（見第三章） 從別針工廠、殖民地、金本位，到網路泡沫與金融危機，本書完整介紹資本主義發展史，讀了你就知道「紡織工人的白骨漂白了印度平原」，其實是自由貿易帶來的殘酷代價。 • 人真的是「理性的自私鬼」嗎？誰在操控經濟舞台？（見第五章） 究竟誰在製造不平等？為何勤奮的窮國勞工依然貧窮？金融業是如何把風險轉嫁給全民？當你懂得探究政策背後「誰受益」時，你就能在複雜市場訊號中保持警覺。 • 錢的世界――銀行、債券、金融市場（見第八章） 當中央銀行在危機時刻出手救市，看似是維持系統穩定，其實也是在決定誰的資產被保護、誰的債務要自行吞下。本章帶你對常見說法保持思辯：金融創新到底是提升效率，還是把風險從有力量的一方，轉嫁給資訊較少、議價能力較弱的群體。 本書特色： 1. 一本書瞭解經濟學所有流派：本書橫跨九大經濟學派，介紹了包括古典、馬克思、奧地利、凱恩斯及行為學派在內的九種經濟學派。學習將各學派視為「瑞士刀」工具，根據不同任務靈活切換。 2. 打破艱澀名詞學習天花板：經濟學95% 的內容其實是常識，大眾常被術語和數學嚇得遠離，本書用淺白平實的語言解釋經濟現象，只要具備國中程度就能讀懂。 3. 結合大量現實數據：本書對產業政策與國家角色的深刻歷史剖析
