弗雷德里克·巴斯夏：经济诡辩·摘录 27
弗雷德里克·巴斯夏《经济诡辩》· Economic Sophisms · 投资
On his long journey through life, from the cradle to the grave, man has need to assimilate to himself a prodigious quantity of alimentary substances, to protect himself against the inclemency of the weather, to preserve himself from a number of ailments, or cure himself of them. Hunger, thirst, disease, heat, cold, are so many obstacles strewn along his path. In a state of isolation he must overcome them all, by hunting, fishing, tillage, spinning, weaving, building; and it is clear that it would be better for him that these obstacles were less numerous and formidable, or, better still, that they did not exist at all. In society, he does not combat these obstacles personally, but others do it for him; and in return he employs himself in removing one of those obstacles which are encountered by his fellow-men.

白话
人一生要吃大量食物、抵御寒暑、防病治病，饥饿、口渴、疾病、冷热都是路上的障碍。独自生活时，他得靠打猎、捕鱼、耕种、纺纱、织布、盖房来一一克服；显然，障碍越少越好，没有更好。在社会中，他不亲自对付所有障碍，而是别人替他做，他则替别人移除另一种障碍。巴斯夏想说明：分工交换让每个人专注解决一部分问题，从而整体上更省力。所以，社会协作的价值在于减少每个人面对的障碍总量。
上下文
巴斯夏在《经济诡辩》中从人生存的基本需求出发，论证社会分工与交换如何帮助人克服自然障碍。
