This volume consists of papers chosen from the Boston Area Public Enterprise Group Conference that was held in 1980 and concentrated on public enterprises in less-developed countries. The Boston Area Public Enterprise Group is composed of scholars dedicated to understanding the public enterprises operating in the world's mixed economies. Public enterprises are government-owned firms that sell goods or services in a market. Involved in public production for private consumption, they are a hybrid of government and private enterprise. Thus, an analysis of public enterprise requires insights from economics, management, political science and law. Each of these disciplines is represented in addressing the following questions: Why public enterprise? Who should control public enterprise? How are decisions made in practice? How do public enterprises behave in international markets? How does risk and uncertainty alter public enterprise decisions'? How are incentive structures to be designed'? Ho

投資大師們的指定教科書巴菲特說：「別人貪婪時我恐懼，別人恐懼時我貪婪。」索羅斯說：「市場總是錯誤的。」華爾街教父 班傑明‧葛拉漢：「不做群羊，一要正確思考，二要獨立思考。」在價格處於高位時對利多消息保持懷疑，在價格處於低位時對利空消息保持懷疑。本書的五大原則總結：1. Your main purpose must be to keep the mind clear and well balanced. Hence, do not act hastily on apparently sensational information; do not trade so heavily as to become anxious; and do not permit yourself to be influenced by your position in the market.1.你必須目標明確，頭腦冷靜，不能因一些道聽塗說的消息而莽撞行事；不要過度交易讓自己變得焦慮；更不能盲目地固執己見。2. Act on your own judgement, or else act absolutely and entirely on the judgement of another regardless of your own opinion."To many cooks spoil the broth."2.要麼依照自己的判斷行動，要麼無視自己的看法、絕對徹底地按別人的判斷行動。「人多手雜反而壞事。」3. When in doubt, keep out of the market. Delays cost less than losses.3.當心存疑慮、游移不定時，不要進行交易，延誤成本小於虧損。4. Endeavor to catch the trend of sentiment. Even if you should be temporarily against fundamental conditions, it is nevertheless unprofitable to oppose it.4.努力培養對走勢的敏感度，即使目前你還不能把握它，但這也絕不會是作無用功。5. The greatest fault of ninety-nine percent out of
