Paul. Anthony? Samuelson is a leading figure in contemporary neoclassical classics, just like the famous American economist Stanley? Fisher introduced Samuelson in the New palgrave Dictionary of Economics and said:? Samuelson made a fundamental contribution to almost all aspects of economic theory? . He was praised as a child? Genius prodigy? . In his famous articles, we often hear the interaction between multiplier analysis and acceleration principle. Samuelson won the Nobel Prize in Economics from 65438 to 0970, which indicated that he made an important contribution to the development of world economics and was recognized by the world. I finished reading this book with admiration and respect for the master.
The layout of this book can basically meet the needs of readers at all levels, and the more advanced content is arranged separately in the appendix or specially marked chapters. The first part is the basic concept, which mainly introduces some basic knowledge necessary for studying economics. The second part is microeconomics: supply, demand and product market, and the third part is factor market: labor, land and capital. The above two articles are also topics that we can see in any microeconomics book. The fourth chapter mainly discusses international trade, government and environment from a micro perspective, and the fifth to seventh chapters comprehensively describe the relevant knowledge of macroeconomics.
There is no obvious feeling of struggling to read ordinary textbooks when reading this book. Simple words, sometimes even humorous language, make people feel like reading a novel with a fascinating plot, which makes people have an irresistible reading impulse. Sometimes, some comments will be added to the theory, which will be more imaginative.
When I read the chapter about product market, I don't want to write down all the formulas about the conditions of maximizing consumer utility, the output curve of production function of variable production factors, the mathematical derivation process of the relationship between MC curve and AC curve, the conditions of perfect competitive market, the definition of monopoly competitive market and the definition of increasing returns to scale. Instead, you can know that P &；; Unilever will continue to expand its market on the basis of China's brilliant achievements.
In the third chapter of this book, I talked about Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient and the eternal topic of fairness and efficiency. A large number of data and charts intuitively let me know the current situation of national income distribution in all corners of the world. The seriousness of income distribution has gradually surfaced in China's devastating economic development in recent years. Whether the income distribution is harmonious or not is a very key component of the whole society. We can see that the discussion on income distribution in the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is deeply branded with the times. Gradually increase the proportion of residents' income in national income distribution? This statement shows that the central government attaches great importance to this issue of income distribution.
There is a very important highlight about income distribution in Secretary Hu Jintao's report: the relationship between efficiency and fairness should be properly handled in the initial distribution and redistribution, and the redistribution should pay more attention to fairness. ? This is a very authoritative and formal answer to the relationship between efficiency and fairness? Redistribution pays more attention to fairness, which means that the initial distribution should put efficiency first. The new round of income distribution system reform began in July last year, so there were all kinds of tempting news about salary changes, especially civil servants' salary changes.
Because of the news mentioned above, and now a large number of people get all kinds of information through the Internet, it reminds me of the information economics mentioned in Samuelson's Economics, which is not mentioned in the textbooks I used. In fact, it is not strange, nor far away. On the contrary, it is closely related to our life in mutual appreciation. Of course, I know that information economics is not as simple as the internet and global informatization that we often contact. It mainly reflects the characteristics of information and its dissemination in economic activities, and actively serves to improve productivity and competitiveness, save and develop resources, optimize resource allocation, and play an organizational role.
With the development of information economy, communication, computer, software, network, science and technology will be more closely linked and make great contributions to the economic development of mankind. International finance and international trade depend on the advanced technologies mentioned above to a great extent, and it is precisely because of these technologies that international finance will break the traditional model, continue to develop and seek the best future.
Throughout the book, Samuelson's economics not only made me appreciate the elegance of a master, but also made me feel a strong sense of responsibility by studying economics and connecting with reality. I think this is also the purpose that the old man persistently wants to achieve.
After reading Economics, a book with 1000 words can be published, revised and updated to 18 edition repeatedly, which shows that it is a fascinating classic handed down from generation to generation, including? Economics? It is a gradual course, published almost every three years to keep it fresh. I believe you already know which book I am referring to, that is Samuelson's Economics.
This book is not my first choice. After my classmates borrowed it from the library, I turned over a few pages and decided to choose this book after reading it. I just took economics this semester, so reading this book is killing two birds with one stone.
I read several chapters, focusing on chapter 15, comparative advantage and trade protectionism. Indeed, it is difficult for me to describe anything for a textbook in gorgeous language. Samuelson was born in the department of mathematics, so he often used graphic equations to explain many problems and felt that his understanding was clearer. But it may also be the relationship that I learned once. There is a feeling of reunion after a long separation.
Where consumption is balanced, I see the so-called utility maximization. But it is not easy for me to find the tangent point with indifference curve and demand curve in the future, and it is really difficult to handle the trade-offs correctly and accurately. The choice in shopping is the simplest and easiest to judge and weigh, because it is relatively objective and easy.
When it comes to which is better or worse, we think of the theory of comparative advantage that we have learned. International trade is also a major branch of economics.
In this chapter, detailed charts, especially a special world map drawing and creativity. The position of each country in the picture can still be recognized, but the size of the territory no longer depends on the territorial area, and the trade share has aroused my interest. In addition to being meticulous, the language in the book is also very humorous, and a large number of metaphors are used, which makes the originally incomprehensible and rigid content suddenly seem so moving.
Most of the books take the United States as an example, which gives me a preliminary understanding of American trade and history.
As a representative of neoclassical school, it is Samuelson's initiative to combine microeconomics with macroeconomics.
Samuelson's views were praised and criticized. However, it is undeniable that Samuelson's economics, as an introduction to theory, is conducive to the diversification of ideas and academic prosperity. The most important thing is that we can constantly improve our ability to distinguish theories through reading, so as to treat various economic and social problems dialectically.
Originally, I thought economics was a very useless subject, especially the calculation methods of various functions and numerical symbols made me dizzy, and doers basically ignored economic issues. I think this is really a wrong idea. Studying economics doesn't make you a genius or an economist, but if you don't study, your fate is likely to be out of tune with you. More importantly, for the current economic crisis around the world, I can master some appropriate economic knowledge, and I can also analyze the relevant national policies and measures from what I have learned.
Reading economics 1000 and reading 2 1 Century Economic News not only increased my knowledge, but also benefited me a lot. Now let me talk about my feelings after reading the newspaper. 200 1 With the issuance of the Outline of Basic Education Curriculum Reform (Trial) by the Ministry of Education, which projects are led by the Ministry of Education? Top down? Curriculum reform has begun. The purpose of this reform is to change? What is exam-oriented education for? Quality education? Return the classroom to students and rekindle children's demand for knowledge.
20 10, 10th anniversary of new curriculum reform. Summarizing and reflecting on the reform process in the past ten years, we find that there are successes and failures. Why can we succeed in those remote areas and not do well in those places with more developed teaching facilities? To sum up, it is because their education costs are different. Their cost is not only the enrollment rate, but also the reputation of the school and so on. Therefore, the cost of choosing curriculum reform is different. Because they don't know the result of curriculum reform, their choices are different when the risks are unknown. From this example, we can know that we should not only consider the cost, but also consider the risk of doing something.
With the development of science and technology, China's comprehensive national strength is constantly improving, and energy conservation and emission reduction has become a development strategy of China. In the lighting industry, China is the world's largest producer and consumer of incandescent lamps. With the development of the times, LED lighting is replacing incandescent lamps, and the government is taking measures to ban the sale of incandescent lamps and gradually put them on the market. In the near future, our children and grandchildren will not be able to guide themselves what incandescent lamps are. There is nothing wrong with this measure of the government. This is the only way for the development of our country. Behind this incident, we can see that incandescent lamp and LED lighting are mutually substituted products. When people increase the use of LED lighting, they will reduce the use of incandescent lamps. For the two manufacturers, the competition between them is perfect competition, so it is very convenient for them to enter or exit a market. When their sales of goods decrease, in the long run,
Therefore, it is not enough for the government to reduce the use of incandescent lamps. At the same time, the concept of environmental protection should be deeply rooted in people's hearts, improve people's awareness of environmental protection, and guide people to reduce the use of incandescent lamps and use LED lighting in large quantities. At the same time, some suggestions should be given to manufacturers to reduce the production of incandescent lamps and produce other substitutes instead, which has achieved the expected goal. Achieve the final result of government intervention in the economy.
We are going to visit the iron and steel industry in China. Shen Wenrong, Chairman of Shagang Group? If an enterprise can't be strong and refined, don't be big for the time being? As well as his stormy years leading Shagang and his views on the election of the next CEO, we can understand that a private enterprise should not only have excellent technical backbone, but also have its own advantages in order to do its best in the highly competitive market. For an enterprise, it is not only to maximize short-term interests, but also to maximize long-term interests. Therefore, an enterprise should have its own development goals and make different plans for its own enterprises in different periods.
In this era of rapid development, as a new generation of college students, we should study hard, pay attention to the country's economic development, understand the country's development trend, make our own contribution to the country's strength, and be a good citizen who loves the country.
