Subtitle of this chapter: Sometimes thoughts fall off the tree before they mature.

………………………………………

As for why our Master Yuan doesn’t form his own school?

In fact, whether it is natural science or social science, those who are engaged in science are still humans after all, so scientists are actually very good at it. Moreover, because their IQ is higher than that of ordinary people, they are more capable than ordinary people.

Of course, although they promiscuously, they affair, they are luoli officials, they have illegitimate children, their party is a commoner, they use any means, they seek fame, they are competing for power... But the scientist who can achieve results is a good scientist.

If you engage in natural sciences, you will have to form cliques, let alone social sciences.

As an economist in social sciences, Yuan Yanshu, who studied in NYU, did not have a master of his skills, so he naturally lost his fellow disciples. He was unwilling to waste time running to Cambridge University and Vienna University to study for a PhD... Therefore, he had a natural weakness in this regard.

He has no disciple who shook his flag for him at the moment. If he doesn't embrace the Austrian school, he will have to fight alone. A hero has three gangs, and a master needs countless help. Moreover, many people in the Austrian school will come to the United States during World War II, so it's better to make a good relationship first.

By the way, Yuan Yanshu sent a copy to Hayek's cousin Ludwig Wittgenstein. Although this guy is now "teaching" in the mountains in southern Austria and will be a great philosopher who works in linguistics and logic in the future, it has nothing to do with economics. But this bearded middle school classmate is really too popular. Since he has caught up, he must know him.

After Wittgenstein became a primary school teacher, he entered a monastery as a gardener. His sister was too worried about his mental state, so she invited him to design a house for himself. This house later became the Bulgarian embassy, ​​so he also had the title of architect. In the future, he would become a philosophy professor at Trinity College, but he thought that teaching philosophy was a "absurd profession", so he resigned.

In all his letters, Master Yuan’s first sentence was a golden sentence from this golden sentence: Sometimes thoughts will fall off the tree before they mature.

Yuan Yanshu was not humble, because the people he wanted to meet were all real masters.

The first and most important one is that British economist Alfred Marshall (1842-1924) must have sent a copy. This old guy has been living for a few years. If he doesn't know him, he will go to another world to get to know him.

This man liberated economics from the subordinate status of political science and history, making it a truly independent discipline. Under his influence, Cambridge University was the first to establish the Department of Economics. In this regard, he can be said to be the chief hero of the economics community, and the title of "Knight of Economics" is really appropriate.

He was also the founder of the Neoclassical School, also known as the Cambridge School. "Principles of Economics" published by Marshall in 1890 is a landmark masterpiece recognized by the Western economics community. It is the most important work after "The Wealth of Nations", and after that, microeconomics was introduced.

By the way, he was originally engaged in physics, but people told him that physics was nothing to do, so he went to social sciences.

Marshall also has a proud disciple and orthodox successor named Arthurcecilpigou (1877-1959). In the future, this gentleman was one of Keynes' main opponents and created a "Piggou effect". Even if Yuan Yanshu was for his butt, he had to get to know Mr. Pigou.

If there are British ones, of course, American ones should also have them.

The first is John Bates Clark (1847-1938), the founder of the American Economic Society and the craftsman, is a fellow countryman. Of course, his san value is not that low. Although he is not a member of the Austrian school, he is also an important member of the Marginal Utility School.

The most important economics award outside the Nobel Prize in Economics is the Clark Prize named after him by the American Economic Society. Unlike the Nobel Prize, this award is only awarded to young people under the age of 40.

Of course, our Master Yuan also wants to join the American Economic Society. Moreover, this Columbia University professor also works on marginal utility theory, and is considered half an allied army in academic terms.

Of course, there are also important figures in the historical school, the founder of the institutional economic school, and John Rogers Commons (1862-1945), who was then director of the US Bureau of Economic Investigation.

One of the pioneers of econometrics, the first American mathematical economist, Irving Fisher (1867-1947). This Yale professor is now teaching everyone investment and financial management. After the Great Depression, he will lose money and become a model for economists to not enter the stock market.

Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Princeton... Master Yuan has not let go of any famous American schools with the Department of Political Economy.

Well, the next name is very familiar to the economics layman, that is, the Italian who proposed "Pareto Optimal" and "Pareto Law". This descendant of the Genoese nobleman is an important member of the Lausanne school. (Author's note: Pareto Law is the 20/80 rule, and 20% of the people occupy 80% of the property.)

In fact, a lot of content in the national socialism undertaken by Mussolini and Hitler came from his doctrine. Later, there were many of his disciples in the financial and economic department of the Italian fascist government.

Is this kind of character important or not? Should I write a letter to him?

In addition to the Western economics community, there are also "non-Western" economists. This "non-Western" does not mean that those economists are not Europeans, but that they are all kinds of leftists.

For example, Rudolf Hilferding, the finance minister of the German Social Democratic Party, was known as the most authoritative theorist in the Second International and later, in the future, he would die at the hands of the Gestapo in the future. Yes, he was a Jew.

There is also an important figure in the history of the development of Western Marxism, one of the leaders of the Second International, and the editor of the fourth volume of "Das Katsky" by Karlkautsky (1854~1938). Although he compiled this volume of "Das Katsky", this volume is not considered to respect Marx's original intention in the West and the Soviet Union. By the way, in February 1921, he set up a second and a half international in Vienna.

The other one is Edward Bernstein, who proposed the famous "Bernstein Revisionism".

The reason why this kind-hearted man is important is that he refuted Marx's prediction of the imminent demise of capitalism, and he insisted that socialism can be achieved through capitalism. Therefore, the economics community of a major Eastern country, who later claimed to be "the last fortress of capitalism" and "takes the socialist path with Cyris's characteristics", appreciated his doctrine very much.

“Tu tu tu tu…”

Hearing the knock on the door, Master Yuan, who was writing a letter at his desk, asked loudly: "What's the matter?"

"Ni Ao, there are two Japanese guests who want to see you..."

Today I saw a comment saying that one of the biggest failures in this broken book is the slanderous writing...
