弗雷德里克·巴斯夏:经济诡辩·摘录 155

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

On receiving this intimation, the inhabitants of Puera held a meeting. An old gentleman (they always suspected he had been secretly bought by Stulta) rose and said: The obstacles created by Stulta injure our sales, which is a misfortune. Those which we have ourselves created injure our purchases, which is another misfortune. With reference to the first, we are powerless; but the second rests with ourselves. Let us, at least, get quit of one, since we cannot rid ourselves of both evils. Let us suppress our _obstructives_ without requiring Stulta to do the same. Some day, no doubt, she will come to know her own interests better.

白话

普埃拉居民收到通知后开会。一位老先生(大家总怀疑他被斯图尔塔暗中收买)说:斯图尔塔设的障碍损害我们的销售,这是不幸;我们自己设的障碍损害我们的购买,这是另一不幸。前者我们无能为力,后者却取决于我们自己。既然无法摆脱双重祸害,至少先除掉一个。让我们单方面取消自己的障碍,不必要求斯图尔塔也这样做。无疑,她总有一天会明白自己的利益所在。

上下文

巴斯夏《经济诡辩》中的寓言,斯图尔塔代表设置贸易壁垒的外国,普埃拉代表本国,讨论单边自由贸易。

今日一问

今天你能否单方面取消一个自己设的障碍,而不等待对方先行动?
