Scarcity

Scarcity pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

Sendhil Mullainathan is Professor of Economics at Harvard University. His real passion is behavioral economics, understanding what makes people tick - whether a senior executive in New York or a farmer in rural Tamil Nadu.

He enjoys having written but is of a mixed mind about writing.

He also occasionally enjoys doing: he helped co-found a non-profit to apply behavioral science (ideas42); and has worked in government.

Much to the surprise of who know him well, he is a recipient of the MacArthur "genius" award.

His hobbies include basketball, googling and fixing-up classic espresso machines. He also enjoys speaking about himself in the third person, which works well for bios but less well in daily life.

Eldar Shafir is an American psychologist, and the author of Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much[1] (with Sendhil Mullainathan). He is the William Stewart Tod Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs at Princeton University Department of Psychology and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He is a Faculty Associate at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University. He is co-founder and Scientific Director at ideas42, a social-science R&D lab. His area of study is behavioral economics, that is, how the decisions people make affect their financial outcomes. His research has led him to the general conclusion that people often make inadvisable decisions on financial matters when they think they are being rational.

A surprising and intriguing examination of how scarcity—and our flawed responses to it—shapes our lives, our society, and our culture

Why do successful people get things done at the last minute? Why does poverty persist? Why do organizations get stuck firefighting? Why do the lonely find it hard to make friends? These questions seem unconnected, yet Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir show that they are all are examples of a mind-set produced by scarcity.

Drawing on cutting-edge research from behavioral science and economics, Mullainathan and Shafir show that scarcity creates a similar psychology for everyone struggling to manage with less than they need. Busy people fail to manage their time efficiently for the same reasons the poor and those maxed out on credit cards fail to manage their money. The dynamics of scarcity reveal why dieters find it hard to resist temptation, why students and busy executives mismanage their time, and why sugarcane farmers are smarter after harvest than before. Once we start thinking in terms of scarcity and the strategies it imposes, the problems of modern life come into sharper focus.

Mullainathan and Shafir discuss how scarcity affects our daily lives, recounting anecdotes of their own foibles and making surprising connections that bring this research alive. Their book provides a new way of understanding why the poor stay poor and the busy stay busy, and it reveals not only how scarcity leads us astray but also how individuals and organizations can better manage scarcity for greater satisfaction and success.

千万不要以为这些人是一天到晚无所事事,其实很多人早就制定好了计划,目标也有了,动力也有了,但为什么就是无法有效的执行呢?    德鲁克在《卓有成效的管理者》中提到一个观点,有效率的管理者总是从如何规划自己的时间开始,因为时间这种资源如果浪费就无法挽回。   ...

小的时候没有觉得,长大后,越来越发现一个绝望的现实,那就是穷人更穷,富人更富,贫富差距是在逐渐拉大的。一直以为这种差距是因为富人有能力给孩子提供更多的社会资源,所处的平台不一样,视野也不一样,可以利用的人力物力资本不一样,但是还有一个很大的差距,就在于心...

还记得那个书店老板的故事,读书无数,头发快白了,博士毕业论文还是迟迟没有赶出来。很多时候,伟大的作品都在非常紧迫的时候完成。比如书中提到的那份美味佳肴。稀缺,会让我们变得专注。考试前的复习总是最有效的。但是,太专注了,我们的视野就小了,产生了管窥之见。比如...

偶然在微信朋友圈里看到介绍一篇《稀缺》的书评,读过之后就立即把书买了下来。吸引我的不是别的,正是“稀缺”这个主题。书的引言里说描写了书作者塞德希尔面临的忙碌和焦虑,相信这个也是很多职场人的切身体会,至少我深有感触: 我的工作是IT技术支持,工作职责就是解决客...

看到有人评论这本书说的全是一些正确的废话——不能同意更多。完全就是在展示作者对案例研究和所谓“提炼”的能力,如果说有用,那就是作者的研究方式是不错的,同时把那些正确的东西又展示了一遍。 整本书读下来不是很舒服,可能和翻译也有较大关系,“余闲”、“管窥”、“识...

有点太详细了,看的太累。跟一般心理学科普的书不一样,感觉上偏学术,书是不错的,但是看得累,如果有中文版可能好点,能迅速调过不感兴趣的地方。

简言之“防患于未然”

很有启发。四星+,如果再简洁一点就是五星了。这里的scarcity,和微观经济学中的同一个词并非一个意思,后者是抽象的“稀缺”(即"constraint binds"),而前者译为“匮乏”更合适——它指的是对资源的高度缺乏和与之相伴的“mindset"。
