The Multicultural Cult
by Thomas Sowell
10/19/2010
Somebody eventually had to say it -- and German chancellor Angela Merkel
deserves credit for being the one who had the courage to say it out loud.
Multiculturalism has "utterly failed."
Multiculturalism is not just a recognition that different groups have
different cultures. We all knew that, long before multicultur... 阅读全帖 |

【译者的话:想翻译此文的想法有一段时间了,这是Thomas Sowell 2011年新出的一本
短文集里面的第一篇。Sowell不用介绍了,去年罗永浩推荐并最终再版的《美国种族简
史》的作者,那本书解了罗永浩对很多问题之惑。但Sowell其他著述同样精彩。
之所以很愿意翻译此文,原因很简单,他仅用一个小故事,就将很多似是而非、扯淡的
观念批判得体无完肤,那些观念大多数人都有,常常用来指责、发难别人。至于那些观

很久很久以前,一只蝗虫和一只蚂蚁生活在一起。整整一个夏天,蝗虫嬉戏和玩耍,而
蚂蚁在骄阳下努力工作,为冬季储存食物。
到了冬天,蝗虫就饿了。一个寒冷的雨天,他去找蚂蚁要一些食物。
“你疯了吗?”蚂蚁说。“我整个夏天累折了腰地工作,而你在旁边看热闹,笑我失去
了所有的生活乐趣。”
“我这样做了吗?”蝗虫和气地问。
“是呀!你说我是一个老脑筋,不懂现代的自我实现的理念的意义。“

Himself an African American, Thomas Sowell shrewdly pointed out that AA is "

c***s 发帖数: 70028 | 47 近日,中国多地发生奶农“倒牛奶”事件,许多人由此联想到中学教科书中提到的“资本家宁愿将牛奶倒掉也不分给穷人”。事实上,发生在20世纪30年代美国大萧条时期的一系列倒奶事件,可能和教科书描述的、和你想象的都不太一样。
1929年大萧条重创美国农业,具体到奶牛养殖,大萧条头5年,全美最大的产奶州威斯康星州牛奶零售价由4.79美元降到3.48美元,奶农在零售价中收益占比由46%降到30.5%;纽约州情况也类似
和其他繁荣的行业所不同,在1929年大萧条开始之前,美国农业就已经经历了长达10年的由农产品过剩等原因导致的衰退。而1929年开始的大萧条进一步 重创了美国农业,从1929年到1932年,农产品出售价格下降了近50%,农民需要购买的日常消费品价格却只下降了32%左右。
技术进步提高了全美的产奶能力,在1929年,美国共生产了110.52亿美国加仑(US gallons)牛奶,威斯康星州、明尼苏达州、纽约州是美国当时最大的三个产奶州,牛奶产量分别为12亿、8.25亿、8亿美国加仑,它们受大萧条影响最大。
根据美国商务部下属网站census.gov的数据,在1929年,威斯康星州63%的土... 阅读全帖 |

最先对此表示不支持的是乌克兰矿工赫鲁晓夫,
因为他知道苏联历史上已经犯过这个错误了.
但是很二的老毛一定要继续犯二.
One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually
every stupid idea that is in vogue today has been tried before and proved
disastrous before, time and again. — Thomas Sowell

投资界目前对中国经济增长的预测正处于热议之中。高盛以及诸如弗兰克·霍姆斯(
Frank Holmes)、拉里·埃德尔森(Larry Edelson)等广受欢迎的投资顾问,对中国
经济持乐观看法。《巴伦周刊》(Barron's)最近发表了由乔纳森·莱恩(Jonathan
Laing)撰写的《流星》(Falling Star)一文,文章对中国经济提出了极其悲观的看
法,其中提到了诸如对冲基金经理吉姆·查诺斯(Jim Chanos)等看空中国者的诸多观
点。
谁是正确的?中国经济接下来会如何?是持续繁荣还是毁灭性崩溃?这些问题的答案非
