弗雷德里克·巴斯夏《经济诡辩》· Economic Sophisms · 投资
Nothing, whether favourable or unfavourable, can abide permanently with the producer. The advantages which nature and society bestow upon him, the inconveniences he may experience, glide past him, so to speak, and are absorbed and mixed up with the community in as far as the community represents consumers. This is an admirable law both in its cause and in its effects, and he who shall succeed in clearly describing it is entitled, in my opinion, to say, "I have not passed through life without paying my tribute to society." Everything which favours the work of production is welcomed with joy by the producer, for the _immediate effect_ of it is to put him in a situation to render greater service to the community, and to exact from it a greater remuneration. Every circumstance which retards or interrupts production gives pain to the producer, for the _immediate effect_ of it is to circumscribe his services, and consequently his remuneration. _Immediate_ good or ill circumstances--fortunate or unfortunate--necessarily fall upon the producer, and leave him no choice but to accept the one and eschew the other.

白话
巴斯夏说,无论有利还是不利,没有哪样东西能永久停留在生产者身上。自然和社会给予他的好处,或他遭遇的不便,都会滑过他,被吸收并混入共同体,只要共同体代表消费者。这是一条原因和效果都令人赞叹的规律。凡是促进生产的事,生产者会欢迎,因为直接效果是让他能更好服务社会并索取更多报酬;凡是阻碍生产的事,生产者会痛苦,因为直接效果是缩小他的服务和报酬。但 immediate 的好坏最终会转移给消费者。核心是:生产者的得失是暂时的,最终由消费者承受。做法是:看政策时,别被生产者的短期反应迷惑,要追踪最终谁承担成本或受益。
