匱乏經濟學

為什麼擁有的老是比想要的少？面對匱乏感最強烈的時刻，你該如何做聰明抉擇？

by 森迪爾．穆蘭納珊 (Sendhil Mullainathan)、埃爾達．夏菲爾 (Eldar Shafir), 謝樹寬 ...

Series Book 1479 - 實戰智慧館
● 國際知名經濟學者齊聲讚譽 ●這是最好的時代，還是最壞的時代？雖然這個問題沒有定論，但可以肯定的是：這是個匱乏感最為強烈的時代。在豐裕的物質之海，人類卻因匱乏而窒息。在消費主義的邏輯下，供給被無限擴大，需求也被無限擴大，但是個人的資源並沒有相應提高，人的「匱乏感」因而大幅提昇。為了生產，人被無情地驅策，不斷提高產能；為了消費，人要賺更多的錢，去滿足需求與慾望。人為何總在最後期限之前才把事情完成？貧困為何讓人難以脫身？組織企業為何陷入四處救火的困境？為錢發愁的人為何較難控制衝動？孤單的人為何不容易交到朋友？這些問題看似毫不相關，但是在背後，作者看到同樣的原因：人的生產力與消費力不斷受到剝削。換言之，人不斷處於匱乏之中。匱乏不僅是一種現象與狀況，久而久之，它會改變心理機制，使得人進入「匱乏模式」，而以錯誤的方式回應，陷入惡性循環。行為經濟學是認知心理學與經濟學的新領域 ...
