弗雷德里克·巴斯夏:经济诡辩·摘录 138

弗雷德里克·巴斯夏《经济诡辩》· Economic Sophisms · 投资

At a time when everybody is bent on bringing about a saving in the expense of transport--and when, in order to effect this saving, we are forming roads and canals, improving our steamers, and connecting Paris with all our frontiers by a network of railways--at a time, too, when I believe we are ardently and sincerely seeking a solution of the problem, _how to bring the prices of commodities, in the place where they are to be consumed, as nearly as possible to the level of their prices in the place where they were produced_,--I should think myself wanting to my country, to my age, and to myself, if I kept longer secret the marvellous discovery which I have just made.

白话

眼下人人都想节省运输费用,为此修公路、开运河、改进轮船,还用铁路网把巴黎和所有边境连起来;同时,我也相信大家正热切而真诚地寻找一个问题的答案:怎样让商品在消费地的价格尽可能接近生产地的价格。在这种时候,如果我把自己刚发现的奇妙办法继续保密,我就对不起国家、对不起时代,也对不起自己。

上下文

巴斯夏在《经济诡辩》中虚构了一个“奇妙发现”,用反讽手法引出取消关税的主张。当时法国正大兴铁路和运河。

今日一问

你正在努力降低的某项成本,是否有一部分其实是人为设置的障碍造成的?
