博客來投資理財類銷售冠軍、誠品年度暢銷書—— 《我畢業五年，用ETF賺到400萬》作者PG財經筆記最新力作！ 「PG財經筆記」累積流量已破百萬次， 《經濟日報》、「商周財富網」、《Smart智富月刊》、《中國信託證券》……轉載報導。 ◎如何在32歲累積1,000萬元？我靠複利、長尾加上自動化投資。 ◎投資非富人專屬。每日存下83元買ETF，你也能成為千萬富翁。 ◎ETF分三大類：股票型、債券型、房地產型，PG最建議投資哪一種？ ◎台股ETF目前高達295檔，多數都號稱「高股息」，陷阱在哪裡？ ◎理財的最大風險是情緒；改用AI機器人幫你試算規畫，把風險降到最低。 作者PG（Piggy，小豬撲滿），喜歡存錢，警大畢業後，擔任派出所所長， 倚靠薪資、獎金、稿費、講師費和投資收入， 職涯第5年累積400萬元淨資產，第10年突破1,000萬元， 不只買房、結婚生子，還擁有任職公司的股權及著作權。 剛畢業時，他買過股票、加密貨幣，還投資過房地產、新創公司， 全部都試過一輪後發現，只有ETF的穩定報酬最適合自己。 像是2016年買進的全世界股票型ETF Vanguard（代號VT）， 報酬率高達200％（58美元買進，至今已漲到124美元）， 10年下來年均報酬率高達20％！ ETF是什麼，可以幫PG在10年內累積千萬資產？ 它的中文是「指數股票型基金」（Exchange-Traded Fund，簡稱ETF）。 這到底是股票還是基金？指數又是什麼？ ETF由ETF發行公司組成，為追蹤某個指數的投資工具， 例如追蹤台股、追蹤美股， 既像股票一樣交易方便，又有基金分散風險的效果。 不用盯盤、不用找尋單一個股，最適合沒時間看盤的人。 ◎我如何賺到第一個1,000萬元：複利、長尾、自動化 假設有兩個人，A從現在開始每年存1萬元、存10年； B在10年後才開始，也是每年1萬元，但是存30年。 在同樣報酬率（7％）的狀況下，40年後卻是A擁有較多財富， 相差約12萬元！這就是複利的威力。 除了複利，還有兩個重點──長尾效應、自動化。 市場裡有幾千檔股票，但只有某幾檔可以替投資人帶來多數收益。 這種擺著就能賺的長尾股票怎麼選？ 找到長尾再透過自動化：定時買進，PG就是這樣累積第一個1,000萬元。 ◎通膨時，投資ETF最保值？ ETF分三大類：股票型、債券型、房地產型，作者推薦哪些標的？ 發行

全球語言學權威、《劍橋英語百科全書》主筆克里斯托，告訴你英語如何能在短短50年間成為全球最強勢的語言。　◎ 美國英語協會指定必讀，討論英語全球發展的語言研究經典。◎ 台灣即將邁入「雙語政策」必備參考書◎ 全新增訂版新增「AI與全球通用語言」討論◎ 作者為大英帝國勳章得主、英國國家學術院院士、英國文化協會傑出成就獎得主。◎《劍橋英語百科全書》作者、權威語言學家告訴你英語崛起的關鍵因素 「英語是世界通用語言」這個說法無所不在，而且太過理所當然，我們很少會去思索這個現象的成因。我們可以在國際新聞中聽到各國領袖都說英語，在世界各國隨處可見英語標誌和廣告，旅館或餐廳都通英語，也會提供一份英文菜單。　但是，把英語當作母語的國家並非全球最多、英語也不是世界上最多人使用的語言。那麼說英語是「世界通用語言」，到底什麼意思？這個狀況什麼時候會發生變化？ 世界通用語言如何形成？　世界通用語言的形成，有兩個主要條件。首先，有許多國家將此種語言定為官方語言，並在政府及教育體系中當成溝通媒介。其次，該語言在許多國家的外語教學中擁有優先順序。　此外傳播與運輸科技的進步，讓國際學術和商業團體對世界通用語言的需求更為迫切。多國人士共同參與的複雜交流，唯有使用共同語言才能得以順利進行，這種直接的溝通需求也促成了世界通用語言成長的環境。為什麼是英語，而不是其他語言？　一種語言能成為世界通用語言，和文法特性與文化偉大程度完全無關，而是由該語言使用者的政治力量來決定，再由靠經濟強國的力量維持並擴展。二十世界初期，經濟的發展以全球性的規模運作、例如國際行銷及廣告的劇增、學術及高等教育升級的國際研究環境，幾乎是單方面透過新美國經濟強權促進並維持的。　此外，英語系國家對外國政府的語言教學政策提供最多財務、媒體及高等教育機構方面的資源，使非英語使用者在工作與國際交流中漸居劣勢。而以英語為母語的人士，則自然而然在世界上取得有力的地位。　英語未來能維持現在這種地位嗎？ 英語在全球的擴散，以及對其他語言的影響，這兩者的關聯，在近年引起激烈的爭論。作者也提出英語在全球普及所造成的在地語言和文化問題，例如弱勢語言被淘汰，導致特殊的民族文化整個消失，或各族群母語遭受外來語破壞，導致年輕人對自我文化的認同低落等。最後就全球的現況，探討語言發展的未來，提出種種可能與展望，例如抗拒英語的潮流、英語分裂的可能、新英語的產生等。
