安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

One night there was a dinner, where Mr. Joseph Chamberlain and Sir Charles Tennant, President of the Scotland Steel Company, were guests. During the evening the former said that his friend Carnegie was a good fellow and they all delighted to see him succeeding, but he didn't know why the United States should give him protection worth a million sterling per year or more, for condescending to manufacture steel rails.

白话

核心是:保护主义争论中,常有人只算补贴账,不算消费者账。一晚宴会上,英国政客约瑟夫·张伯伦对卡内基说:卡内基是个好人,大家乐见他成功,但不明白美国为何每年给他价值百万英镑以上的保护,就因为他“屈尊”制造钢轨。这话带着调侃,也代表当时英国钢铁界的不满:他们认为美国用关税保护本国钢轨业,让卡内基占了便宜。卡内基记下这话,是为了引出布莱恩从铁路用户角度的反驳。

上下文

19世纪末英美钢铁业竞争激烈,张伯伦在宴会上调侃卡内基受美国关税保护。

今日一问

你评价一项政策时,是否只算了一方的账,而忽略另一方的成本?
