让我们从经济学之外的角度来看经济学吧,当一个人更加了解自己,他就更加了解别人,反之亦然。如果对人有了更深入的了解,回过头来再读经济学一定能看得更清楚。
Amazon向我推荐Carl Jung“The Undiscovered Self”, 我读了下面这一篇评论,喜欢。准备读一读。
In this book Jung correctly predicted that Communism had to collapse from within. No one else saw that coming. Why should they? For, as he points out, the mass state had all the force of the big battalions on their side- politics, science, and technology were their natural allies. And yet they collapsed.
Should we rejoice in this? Why? Jung points out that the West is every bit as materialistic as our former Communist opponents. Our spiritual base is gone- in the place of true religion we have aging cults that serve the status quo. There is no inner power there. Every place Jung uses the term Communist, you can substitute Corporate and you have the same animal. That is because both are hierarchical structures where the individual counts for nothing. Indeed, the self-knowledge or ndividualization that would produce true men and women capable of standing up to the hierarchy is actively discouraged. They are trapped in the illusion of statistical man and of the organization- neither of which really exist. Only a few at the top can exercise the power of a true individual, and even they are usually no more than mouthpieces for the undeveloped masses and their unconscious drives.
The hope for Jung lies in true religion. The freedom and autonomy of the individual depends on deep inner experience of a metaphysical nature. This is not "faith"; it is direct knowing. Even the deepest faith may melt away with time and circumstances- but not direct experience. It is only this
that gives the individual the power to stand up to mass tyranny- and to the World itself. When you haven't made this breakthrough (which requires deep introspection, effort, and, yes, suffering) then other things get deified and charged with demonic energy- money, work, political influence...
The shallow, rootless mass-man and his organizations are always going to lose, eventually, to the man with deep religious connection to the Macrocosm. Jung the Gnostic, Jung the Christian, Jung the Alchemist, Jung the Magician saw this. The individuated man has the cosmic correspondence within himself.

昨天本人和一老弟在靠近芝加哥大学的一个地方沿着在密西根湖边往芝加哥走,一直
走到芝加哥Shedd 水族馆。湖边春天的空气是透彻的,小径上骑车的人们也是悠然
自得的,和两个在湖边疾走的人一样。本人随便地想到谈到自由和spirituality.
一个人是否选择自由实际决定于他自己的spirituality的内容。爱自由而想影响别
人的那些人们,若只在政治哲学和政治经济学的层面来做事,基本是无法penetrate的。
要想penetrate, 必须同时在spirituality的层面做事。必须两个层面都懂。若只懂
spirituality的层面,可能会penetrate, 但penetrate之后注入的可能是垃圾。若
只懂政治哲学和政治经济学的层面,根本就无法penetrate,就是对牛弹琴。
若用spirituality 代替政治哲学和政治经济学(如你所做的),基本就是走火入魔,
歪门邪道。什么狗屁的“新人类经济学”等,纯粹是走火入魔歪门邪道。若认为政
治哲学和政治经济学就是终极,也是走火入魔,歪门邪道。两个层面都要懂。要懂,
是需要花时间一本一本砖头地虚心踏实地去读的。不是如你那样的到处寻找狗屁
“经济学”破书希图找到不用读砖头的捷径。没有捷径。

Dou先生一番高论吓得我不敢说话,那几门学科都不懂,政治哲学、政治经济学、新人类什么学啥的,还有spirituality。
冒着完全误读的风险,我觉得书评里有些话还是"洞彻"的,就是说,共产主义和资本主义在抹杀个人内在的精神性方面是殊途同归的。但我不相信宗教信仰能有什么用。

A person can learn the laws, but he cannot become mature and wise and liberated by merely learning the laws. There is something more. That something might be an endowment. It might have nothing to do with any knowledge. For example, a person may have already achieved most of what Carl Jung advocated without ever having read a single word of Carl Jung's. Spirituality is not necessarily knowledge. Spirituality may be an endowment. Spirituality can be effortless and painless. On the other hand, the laws can not be known through endowment. Knowing the laws is not effortless. A person can never be too diligent in seeking the laws; and a person may lose himself when he tries too hard to become spiritual by seeking. Spirituality comes to a person. - posted on 05/17/2009
谢谢Dou先生。所以,我通俗的理解,Sprituality类似我们中国文化里常说的天赋的智慧、顿悟,一个没有知识的人可以很有智慧,而一个习得了各种知识的人却可以很愚蠢。
