第1章 PREFACE

书签收藏评论目录封面

This book was written in 1989 and originally published by Abbott Publishing in 1990. It is amazing to me how much has happened to our world and our species since that time. But despite the almost cataclysmic changes that have occurred, I believe that the essential message of the book remains valid: we are in the midst of transformation, and leadership, along with everything else in our lives, has become or must become something quite different from what it has been.

Thanks to Steve Piersanti and all the good folks at Berrett-Koehler, this book is now available more broadly. I hope that you, as part of that broader audience, will enjoy reading it even as others apparently have enjoyed it before you. For myself, preparing the manuscript has been a remarkable experience in revisiting some old places and seeing them with new eyes.

The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe（IV）鲁滨逊漂
英文图书 (英)Daniel Defoe
The Further adventures of Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1719. The book starts with the statement about Crusoe's marriage in England. He bought a little farm in Bedford and had three children: two sons and one daughter. Our hero suffered distemper and a desire to see "his island." He could talk of nothing else, and one can imagine that no one took his stories seriously, except his wife. She told him"I will go with you, but I won't leave you." But in the middle of this felicity, Providence unhinged him at once, with the loss of his wife. Although intended to be the last Crusoe tale, the novel is followed by non-fiction book involving Crusoe by Defoe entitled Serious Reflections During the Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe: With his Vision of the Angelick World (1720).

国富论（全译本）
经济 (英)亚当·斯密
该书在历史上首次提出了全面系统的经济学说，为该领域的发展奠定了坚实的基础，是现代政治经济学研究的起点。它概括了古典政治经济学在形成阶段的理论成就，最早系统地阐述了政治经济学的各个主要学说，标志着自由资本主义时代的到来；它主张自由市场，反对政府干预垄断，但也不认为商业制度本身是完全值得肯定的；在赞扬对物质追求的同时，又鄙视商人的行为和策略……它的理论奠定了资本主义自由经济的理论基础，时至今日，《国富论》仍然可以看作是用现代经济学研究方法写作的第一步著作，对经济学研究仍然起着重要作用。今天，《国富论》中的许多学说虽然已经被后来的经济学家所突破，但斯密所确立的研究方向和方法影响深远，他富有预见性的洞察和诸多明确、实用的见解也总能引起后人的重新思考。
