尼克著 [哲學評書]中的Herbert Simon

蘇錦坤Ken Su 贈書。他還將書中的Herbert Simon 作索引。所以這篇獻給他。

尼克讀過Herbert Simon的回憶錄Models of My Life。不過，尼克可能沒注意到第17章頁277Simon說他贏了NEAL Koblitz (1988 詳下)的case。同樣的，該書也說明他的科技預測力之輸贏。

(六合叢書)  尼克著，[哲學評書 ：講述維特根斯坦、羅素、哥德爾、奎因等哲學家的思想和逸事！]  ，杭州：浙江大學出版社，2014.

尼克，職業讀書人，業餘投資者，作品主要發表於《上海書評》。

Economists As Bullying Witch Doctors

Esther-Mirjam Sent has a work in progress regarding how Herbert Simon made an ass of himself in debating with progressive mathematicians, who did not approve of Samuel Huntington joining the National Academy of Sciences. She included two wonderful quotes from one of the mathematicians, Neal Koblitz regarding economist misuse of mathematics.

Koblitz, Neal. 1988. "A Tale of Three Equations: Or the Emperors Have No Clothes." The Mathematical Intelligencer, 10: 1, pp. 4-10.

10: "Mathematical verbiage is being used like a witch doctor's incantation, to install a sense of awe and reverence in the gullible and poorly educated."

Koblitz, Neal (1981) "Mathematics as Propaganda." in Lynn Arthur Steen, ed. Mathematics Tomorrow (New York: Springer-Verlag): pp. 111-120.

Koblitz (1981) had noted: "Mathematics can be used to mystify and intimidate rather than to enlighten the public."
