抱怨改變不了什麼

食腦時代早已取代食力時代。依靠出賣勞動力的大衆無可避免成為貧窮人士。

上述情況亦非任何社會制度可以改變,年青一代憤怒、示威和抗議亦改變不了。如果你冇腦、他日便貧窮。以金價計,今天美國人工資已重返80 年代水平,較1966 年更低許多,打工系冇發達。1967 至1997 年樓價由每方呎60 元,升到12000 元(上升200 倍),恒生指數由1967年64 點升到2007 年32000 點(上升500 倍),每盎斯金價由35 美元升到1920 美元(上升54 倍)。作為80 後或90 後,應該學會少點投訴、示威, 多點學習如何投資。利用market melts down 做short, 利用market melts up 做long。學習逃避風險而非加入什麼反資本主義行列,Take t he risk and be a winner!

Although I always think Ohmae churn out junks, I still buy his books, at least he is a good marketer...

For Amy's book, it is a classic western style of personal journal... a recap of anecdotes. Not good if you want more philosophy in educating kids.

編者的話 鄺穎萱 books4you.com.hk

美國埃默里大學Emory University的英語教授Mark Bauerlein出版了一本極具爭議性的作品《最愚蠢的一代》The Dumbest Generation。書名用“Dumbest”一字,甚為偏激。在書出版之前,作者的太太勸他換一個書名,但他認為必須用「愚蠢」這個詞,就是因為它帶有侮辱意味,目的是希望年輕人讀畢這本書後會憤怒,用行動來證明作者對他們的批評是錯的。

...

Bauerlein亦指出在人類歷史上,知識從來沒有像今日如此普及過:圖書館、博物館、大學、歷史頻道、維基百科、《華爾街日報》、《紐約時報》,一切都在電腦滑鼠下,一按就出現眼前,但眼見年輕的一代,至少是美國年輕人,從高中生到大學生,無論在歷史知識、公民意識、閱讀寫作、國際競爭力方面都未見提高。

書裏提供的數據頗為嚇人:百分之五十五的美國高中生一週花在作業上的時間不超過一小時,至於大學生每週就少於十小時;十八至二十四歲的年輕人中有三分之一不知道美國副總統是誰;百分之五十二的學生以為美國在「二戰」中的盟友是德國、日本或意大利,而不是蘇聯。無知程度超乎想像。作者認為這是一個全球現象,不過美國的情況更嚴重。

...

Comments:

did you read that book?? sound interesting.
No, I heard that the whole book is filled with this kind of data, but without any true opinion or suggestions...

But I will buy it if I see it.
do you have kindle?? may be kindle version is cheaper.
No need, go buy simpflied chinese version, it is only 39.80元
Haha! good job.
Although inflation is high in China, the book price keep fairly the same, amid great quality improvement.

Thanks communist!

I have ended my subscription of FT starting 2012. My 2010 rate is US$107, 2011 is US$170, 2012 would be US$250. Actually I only read LEX, short view and long view in FT, and the price would be too much.

I have switched to Economist, rate is US$175 per 51 issues, and free access to all online content. I love the Economist apps so much, the navigation is super. Much better than the dumb FT.
