弗雷德里克·巴斯夏《经济诡辩》· Economic Sophisms · 投资
But it is easy to understand that this economic principle of morality, which is rather virtual than formal; which is only, after all, a scientific demonstration, which would lose its efficacy if it changed its character; which addresses itself not to the heart, but to the intellect; which aims at convincing rather than persuading; which does not give advice, but furnishes proofs; whose mission is not to touch the feelings, but enlighten the judgment, which obtains over vice no other victory than that of depriving it of support; it is easy, I say, to understand why this principle of morality should be accused of being dry and prosaic.

白话
经济道德原则不同:它不直接劝人向善,而是通过科学论证展示行为后果,诉诸理智而非情感,目的是说服而非感动,提供证据而非建议。它战胜恶行的方式是抽掉其支持,而非直接感化。因此常被批评为干巴巴、平淡无奇。
上下文
巴斯夏对比宗教道德与经济道德的不同作用方式,为政治经济学辩护。
今日一问
我是否曾因为道理太冷静、不够感人,就低估了它的力量?
