rereading

No death, no religion....so far

睡覺之前終於到182頁 字跳進跳出 我下午兩點後心靜不下來 就只好斷斷續續的做事和看書

當經濟是在一個安穩的定點時(unstable equilibrium) 富人增加財產的速度比窮人快的多

here is the thing: how about all economic competition between countries is run by game theory in open game setting? so each country has few 1-3 industries that have the best competitive advantages to generate economic benefit for the whole countries and serve global customers, and no countries have the same ones to compete each other.

Then we will live in a world without a map (Almasy from The English Patient)

I am rereading from page 171. what he is saying is: if you can distinguish what forces that can help income distribution more evenly are from the ones that will enforce more extreme distribution, then we can find good polices to ease the income inequality, despite the claim from Piketty that only global tax polies can ease the income inequality. oh i only have less than 40 characters to type...

It has had me since " the baby dragon."

more than half of my mind has been sleeping... nothing to do with the book. I like him going with the old style: math formulas to demonstrate his points. Although I dont understand math formulas, I can understand the points.

I was going to re read 911 commission report after this. but I feel too sad to read this now. Steve coll is awesome in providing narratives and unpacking stories - master skills in zooming in and zooming out.

Pikettys' are easier to read, because of no math models and functions but so far Stiglitz has slowed down and simplified the most his argument to tell the story to dummy like me.

I wish I was math goddess, doing researches in my whole life.
