Chapter 809 Economics itself is anti-human and anti-common sense

Upon hearing this, Shi Guangyong's face instantly turned red, his eyes widened like copper bells, and his angry look almost spewed fire.

'Economics is an evil subject'?
His lips were trembling, and he was obviously very angry about Qing Yun's words.

Veins bulged on his clenched fists, and Momono Mukanai beside him held him back desperately, trying to calm him down.

Well, the main reason is that I’m afraid that he won’t be able to win, which would be even more embarrassing!
Momono Muxiangnai thought unhappily in her heart, while looking helplessly at the hateful little brat opposite her.

Good guy!
Is this to belittle the subject that her husband Shi relies on for a living to the point of being worthless?
Shi Guangyong thought Qingyun would say that economics is useless. After all...

In fact, in most cases, economics is really useless and economists are really talking nonsense.

But I didn't expect him to use the word 'evil'!

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid!" he roared, his voice echoing in the living room.

"How can economics be evil?! It is the crystallization of human wisdom and an important discipline that promotes social development! You are disrespecting all economists and disciplines!"

His rebuke was full of disappointment and anger. It was obvious that Qing Yun's remarks had touched his bottom line. He even thought that this was undoubtedly a challenge to his beliefs.

If economics is really useless, where does the strategy of destroying a country come from? !
What a shit brother!
Qing Yun can only graduate successfully from the School of Economics if he dies!
Seeing this, Zeng Huixian unexpectedly burst into laughter. She stood up and patted Shi Guangyong on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

"Don't get excited, third brother. Listen to what he says."

Facing Shi Guangyong's anger, Qing Yun did not show fear or retreat. Instead, a hint of determination and persistence flashed in his eyes.

He knows that his views may be controversial, but he still chooses to express his thoughts honestly.

Because, people with different ideas cannot work together.

In other words, if you want to work together, you must share the same ideals.

A dry status of a registered disciple was not what he wanted.

It has become the 'three cuts, one reduction and one supplement' of eliminating redundant production capacity, reducing inventory, deleveraging, reducing costs and filling in the gaps, using the hand of macro-control to strengthen the construction and strengthening of China's industrial chain.

How could Emperor Yun, who was well aware that later generations particularly advocated "going with the flow", go against the trend of the times?

Having this school of thought represented by Zeng Huixian standing behind him will save him countless troubles and provide him with sufficient time for the policy transition.

But at this moment, he had to make Zeng Huixian pay attention to him first.

Zeng Huixian's seemingly conciliatory behavior when she opened the door was actually due to the presence of Tang Qianying.

She treated Tang Qianying like her own daughter and looked up to her because of her love for her.

The support transmitted from others is actually the most unreliable.

In order to truly gain Zeng Huixian's support, Qing Yun felt that...

The best way is to become Zeng Huixian's true closed disciple.

The true last disciple, especially in modern times, is not the last disciple accepted by a special instructor.

In modern college campuses, the last student in most cases...

"When I can retire depends on when this evil disciple can graduate!"

In modern times, the last disciple is often the future academic successor chosen by the master, and plays a key role in the inheritance and development of the master's school.

Qing Yun took a deep breath, smiled at Tang Qianying whose pretty eyes were full of worry, and then said,

"I have also been reading economics books recently, which are the books that Zeng's mother gave me. Then I combined it with my own experience in running a company..."

Shi Guangyong snorted coldly when he heard this, but just when he was about to say something, Qing Yun waved his hand, signaling him not to interrupt.

“I found something very interesting.

In modern society, economics seems to have become a mythical subject.

Although, as I just said, all economists have almost never predicted an economic crisis correctly. Even if there are a few who have predicted it correctly, the accuracy rate is almost the same as blind guessing.

Moreover, when faced with the same data and the same conditions, different economic experts can come to completely opposite conclusions, or even multiple different results, undermining each other.

If we follow the thinking of science and engineering, the results are not unique and are not scientific at all.

However, I also discovered that all the scholars in the think tanks of all governments in the world are mainly economists, and experts in other professional disciplines only play the role of background knowledge when making decisions.

On the contrary, the preachers of economics, economics experts, are often despised by the general public.

For example, some economic experts said, "It is recommended to delay the mortgage term to 50 years, and if one generation cannot pay it off, the next generation will pay it off", and "Young people should work in factories more often and should not only consider personal income. Low-income people can rent out idle houses or use private cars to increase their income." There are many such remarks that seem to be asking for trouble on the Internet. I will not say more about how they are criticized.

Among these people, there are many professors and scholars from well-known universities.

So, my question is, as economics is the king of prominent disciplines, the reality is that on the one hand, this discipline is deeply involved in the governance of the country, but on the other hand, it is reviled by everyone.

Why is it so divided?

Qing Yun's question made everyone frown and they began to think unconsciously.

That being said, it does feel quite divisive.

On the one hand, economics is revered as a golden rule by people, but on the other hand, it is despised by people to the point that they want to step on it and crush it hard.

No one answered this question.

Or rather, no one can answer this question except Zeng Huixian.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

At this time, Zeng Huixian smiled and praised him, "Xiaoqing, it's okay, continue to speak your mind."

No subject can compare with economics in terms of the independent thinking ability of an entire group.

The fundamental reason is that there are so many schools of thought in economics that they can be described as vast and boundless, and there is no unified school of thought like in other disciplines.

Therefore, the importance of critical thinking and independent thinking ability in this discipline is no less than the mouth that makes the economics scholars and experts make their living.

Zeng Huixian felt that at least the young man in front of her had such qualities. Qing Yun also smiled, "I am confused, and in fact, I think the public is also confused. How can such seemingly nonsense and cold-blooded remarks come out of the mouth of an economics expert?

Many people attribute it to stance. In our country, many people would say, 'There is no right or wrong, only stance.'

So what is the question of the position of economic experts?

The vast majority of economics experts are in the upper-middle class of society. Objectively speaking, it is difficult for them to empathize with the economic situation of the lower classes.

In addition, most economics experts must have business dealings with businesses. After all, businesses are the most important place in economics where theories can be put into practice.

Therefore, economic experts often speak from the perspective of enterprises. If they do not speak from the perspective of enterprises, 99% of the time it is because no enterprise is willing to support them. "

Guo Wei on the side listened, thought about it, and did not applaud.

Be tactful.

After all, we cannot applaud based on closeness or distance.

He wanted to say, it was true.

What a bunch of monsters.

Zeng Huixian nodded upon hearing this, "That makes sense. Please continue."

Qing Yun shook her head at this time, "This is what I thought before. After I read some of the books that you asked me to read, I knew where the problem lies."

"Where?" Unconsciously, the corners of Shi Guangyong's mouth curled up, and the anger on his face was gone.

Qing Yun said calmly, "It lies in the cornerstone of economics, the rational person hypothesis.

Assume that the basic characteristic of a rational person is that everyone engaged in economic activities is selfish.

Therefore, I think that all people who study economics will have a side effect, which is that they are prone to bring the assumption of rational people into their lives and regard all people's behavior as selfish, or even selfish.

I myself was confused in this way for a period of time.

I seemed to have a God's perspective, from which I saw all the living beings in the world as sophisticated egoists.

Including Qianying, everyone's behavior during those few days was the same in my eyes, without exception."

Mistress Qianying's comic eyes suddenly widened.

Hey, little cloud!

How dare you think of your sister like this!

I can't kill you tonight!

Zeng Huixian gently clapped her hands for him upon hearing this, and looked at Shi Guangyong with interest, "Old Third, how old were you when you reached this stage of cognitive impairment?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone seemed to understand something.

Shi Guangyong looked constipated when he heard this, but he still said honestly, "My junior year."

Then, he took a deep breath and gave Qingyun a thumbs up, "Xiaoqing, that's amazing!
I was 27 when I reached this point, and 33 when I got out of it. It took me six years.”

Qing Yun smiled and continued, "So, when economic experts make their opinions, they often start from the perspective of rational people.

For example, from the perspective of a rational person, the demographic dividend is really a dividend. After all, society can take advantage of the large supply and low price of labor to obtain excess profits, so there are those weird remarks.

But after all, rational people do not exist in the world, this is just an assumption.

For example, the employment pressure, age pressure, and educational pressure faced in the demographic dividend do not exist for rational people.

But as emotional animals, we are bound to engage in irrational behavior.

In fact, most human behaviors are not based on rationality, which leads to the fact that economic conclusions are often counterintuitive.

At this time, economists will be divided.

Either he is a peerless talent, or he is either very stupid or very evil.

Stupid, it means that you haven't yet overcome what Zeng Mama and Shi Yuan call the "cognitive barrier".

Bad, 95% of economists in the world are like this."

Guo Wei hissed, "How do you define 'bad'?"

He felt that Qingyun's words were too absolute, "Xiaoqing, I think you are too biased.

There are still many economists who look at the problem from the perspective of the people.”

Qing Yun laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Old Guo, you still don't understand.

Economic conclusions should be counterintuitive! Otherwise, the foundation of business will no longer exist!"

Seeing that Guo Wei didn't understand, he said calmly, "Old Guo, you will understand once you put the theory into practice.

In the market, it is always the minority who make money from the majority.

This is another interpretation of "the truth is often in the hands of a few people."

As Buffett said, 'I am fearful when others are greedy, and I am greedy when others are fearful.'

Economics itself is anti-human and anti-common sense.”

He smacked his lips and tried to hold back from taking out a cigarette.

After all, not only is the female force here strong, but there are also two pregnant women who seem to be preparing for pregnancy.

Qing Yun turned his head and looked at Shi Guangyong, "Dean Shi, you have to admit this, right?"
