弗雷德里克·巴斯夏:经济诡辩·摘录 93

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

Hence we see the enormous absurdity of consuming countries which reject products for the very reason that they are cheap. It is as if they said, "We want nothing that nature gives us. You ask me for an effort equal to two, in exchange for a product which I cannot create without an effort equal to four; you can make that effort, because in your case nature does half the work. Be it so; I reject your offer, and I shall wait until your climate, having become more inclement, will force you to demand from me an effort equal to four, in order that I may treat with you _on a footing of equality_."

白话

消费国拒绝便宜产品极其荒谬。这等于说:我不要自然给的好处;你花两份力气就能给我产品,因为自然帮你干了一半,我拒绝,非要等你气候变差、花四份力气时再跟你平等交易。核心是:保护主义拒绝低价进口,等于拒绝自然恩惠,自找苦吃。所以别用关税挡住便宜商品,那是在惩罚自己。

上下文

巴斯夏《经济诡辩》中讽刺贸易保护主义,用夸张对话揭示拒绝廉价进口的荒谬。

今日一问

你支持的政策或消费选择,是否在拒绝“自然给的好处”,比如对便宜进口货加税?
