英國在1620—1720年金融革命期間發展起來的現代信用體系,為英國在18世紀政治、軍事和經濟上的統治地位奠定了基礎,並促成了第一次工業革命。然而,這種新的信用體系伴也帶來了嚴重的災難。它不僅不穩定,容易發生意外事故,而且依賴於信任、公眾輿論,最終不得不採取暴力來維護。 本書作者重建了孕育金融革命的思想背景,追溯了關於信用的理論闡述是如何演變的,並對光榮革命、科學革命、英格蘭銀行的成立等問題做出了回應,引導我們了解同時代的英國人如何看待信用的不穩定性,以及暴力——戰爭、奴役和死刑——在維護信用方面的作用。 作者:卡爾·文納林德(Carl Wennerlind),哥倫比亞大學歷史學教授,研究領域集中在思想史與政治經濟學,對貨幣與信用觀念的發展歷史尤其有興趣,另著有《一位哲學家兼經濟學家:休謨和資本主義的崛起》(A Philosopher鈥檚 Economist: Hume and the Rise of Capitalism)、《稀缺:從資本主義起源到氣候危機的歷史》(Scarcity: A History from the Origins of Capitalism to the Climate Crisis)等書。 譯者:周宇,北京大學歷史系畢業,曾留學英國倫敦大學學院,曾任中央電視台英語頻道和《環球時報》記者。
你知道嗎?我們智人的基因構成中,有一部分來自已經滅絕的尼安德特人。那麼,這些人類近親,和我們一樣聰明嗎?都是人類,我們為什麼,如何不同?我們可以和他們交談嗎?這些問題與“我們來自何處”(from where we came)有什麼關係?在本書中,著者站在理科視角,以基因的角度,全面概述現代智人的發展歷程。如果你也同樣好奇人類種群的發展史,並且厭倦了媒體的老生常談與信息轟炸,那麼我們可以簡單地把宏大複雜的人類演化歸結為簡單的科學線索。其實,我們從單細胞基因生物進化而來的過程,可以比喻為在城市裡坐公共交通去往不同的地方。通過流行的文化案例、作者的個人經歷、一些幽默的比喻和簡單的圖形及定義,我們用一個科學家的眼睛,就能簡單探索和概括人類進化的宏大主題。我們將深入探討人類物種興起、繁衍、滅絕和演化的因果關係,從基因層面認識整個歷史。跟隨著者的腳步,我們能夠探索人類的祖先如何克服各種困難,歷經數百萬年而生存甚至繁榮。很明顯,地球上現存的每一個人,在許多方面都是相似的,除了基因上的微小差異。作為同一個物種,我們不禁有了動力,去尋找讓自己生活更好的方法。畢竟,我們都是活在地球上血濃於水的兄弟姐妹。
