  水书 但是很可爱

• 作者：LZ 发布时间：2011-09-03 15:26:53

  作者宣扬自由主义经济学，反对凯恩斯。书中的反G反社的言论在中文版里都被删了。

  配合中文版看

• 通俗的经济读物

  作者：free night 发布时间：2010-10-15 16:56:49

         对于像我这样完全没有任何经济学基础的人来说，这本书是通俗易懂的。作者力图用简练、通俗的文字向读者展示经济学在个人、国家、世界所能发挥的种种领域与力量。这包括个人理财、公司、解决社会的医疗、交通堵塞、教育、枪支、拍卖、体育、人口、贫穷、税收甚至宗教。有些结论数据与自己所持的常识相悖，于我来说是新鲜的。

      作者推崇奥地利经济学派，主张自由市场经济，书中介绍不少经济学家及其著作，提供了深入阅读的方向。

• 自由主义者的作品

  作者：山阳 发布时间：2012-02-19 19:32:53

  整本书表达的都是自由主义者的论点。不仅如此，史库森先生还认为经济学是全能的。当然，他的经济学只是自由主义经济学。

  整本书共分为五部分。从经济学家在经济上的表现（尤其是股票市场上的表现）开始，到对于未来的预见结束。全书涉及了经济、政治、文化、宗教、环境保护等方面，描述了经济学在这几个方面的应用。同时提及到多位经济学家，有我们常常听到的亚当斯密、大卫李嘉图，同时也有一些我们不熟悉的，在此不一一列举。

  总的来说，全书翻译的很不错，所举例子也比较新颖，而且贴切。对于没有任何经济学基础的朋友来说是一本很不错的入门读物，有助于了解自由主义经济学。读完此书，会有一种耳目一新的感觉，比如关于经济发展和环境保护之间的关系，作者表达了一种比较新颖的观点。

  小小吐槽一下：整本书并不是像书名说的那样紧密联系了生活和经济学。其实对于《EconoPower》这个书名，鄙人觉得翻译成《经济学的力量》比较贴切。

  第一次写评论，若有不足，多多包涵。
