Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 20: Impressive
Subtitle of this chapter: Why can’t I copy “Pickled Pig’s Blood”?
"Mr. Yuan, did you really write this?"
Although Professor Chandler's questioning was too direct and could be considered very , our Master Yuan had already been mentally prepared for this.
Yuan Yan frowned suddenly, revealing a complex expression of mixed emotions, including anger at being insulted and harmed, anger at being innocently humiliated, and eagerness to express himself... He immediately took a few very obvious deep breaths.
Finally, Master Yuan, who looked unhappy, nodded stiffly and said, "Professor Chandler, of course I wrote this!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you." After all, he was a high-level intellectual. Professor Chandler still had a zombie face, but he still expressed his apology, "But Mr. Yuan. I still can't believe that this thesis outline was written by you alone. It's not because you are...well, it's because you are..."
"Well, I think, Mr. Yuan, do you understand?"
The German devils are also devils.
Yuan Yan thought to himself, of course I understand. The Germans are also the most anti-China country in Europe in later generations. However, Master Yuan, knows that there are some "misunderstandings" in this. The German people are not only anti-China, but also anti-US, anti-British, anti-French, anti-Russian, and anti-Japanese... There is no country or region that they are not against. To be precise, even after being brainwashed by the Red Left and the White Left for many years after World War II, they still just "simply" look down on other countries.
He snorted in his heart again. If this sentence was used in the 21st century, Professor Julian H. Chandler would never be able to stay in college, community college or even high school. He should just go home and take care of his children.
But...isn't it 1920 now?
To be honest, Professor Chandler is not purely racist or ageist.
Economics is different from other subjects. Wild masters are extremely rare, and there are even fewer geniuses in economics in history. In the 19th century, only John Stuart Mill, a representative of British classical liberalism, could be regarded as a "genius economist", but he was more like a polymath. At the age of 10, he spent a year writing a book "History of Roman Law", and at the age of 11, he co-authored "History of British India" with his father.
In fact, there is no so-called economic genius after the 19th century. Ben Bernanke, who was known as the "golden boy of economics" in the second half of the 20th century and later succeeded Greenspan as the chairman of the Federal Reserve, did not get his doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology until he was 26 years old. Einstein wrote the theory of special relativity when he was 26 years old, Nietzsche became a professor at the University of Basel at the age of 26 , and Galois was 26 years old... Well, he died six years ago because of a duel. Mathematicians who achieve success at the age of 26 are actually late bloomers. Yuan Yanshu and Yuan Hongjian, they are also 26 years old this year (1920 and 2017)...
Moreover, in the 1920s when there was no Internet, one could not become an economist by working in isolation. To become an economist in this era, one needs to participate extensively in real economic activities and make purposeful theoretical summaries after a lot of practice.
Whether it is the "control faction""Keynes or the "Royal School""The two of them were high-ranking officials in the economic departments of their respective countries. This is true for the right wing and the left wing. Uncle En is a big entrepreneur himself, and Uncle Marx was able to write such a history-changing masterpiece as "Das Kapital" only after he consulted various annals of the British Empire for decades at the British Library.
Plus, he's a "Chonky"...
Yuan Yan spread her hands helplessly and said stiffly: "Then Professor Chandler, how can I prove myself?"
The political science professor adjusted his glasses, picked up the outline, pointed to a paragraph and asked, "Mr. Yuan, you said that John Stuart Mill's weakness and compromise in his later years caused confusion in the minds of the masses, and his views actually served the left-wing movement. Are you referring to his change of views on utilitarianism and the 'wage theory'?"
Yuan Yan suddenly sighed inwardly, this damn Master Ball system, why can't it just let me copy some of Jin Gu Wen Liang Huang, The Rise of Great Powers, A Generation, Pickled Pig Blood, or even The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me... Hey, I feel like something weird has sneaked in?
What is this "John Stuart Mill"? Except for economics nerds (who have to be experts in the history of economics), who knows who he is?
In fact, this gentleman is the rare "genius" in the history of economics just mentioned in this chapter. He is also a master of classical liberalism with boundless influence in the 19th century.
Yuan Yan smiled slightly, but did not answer immediately. Instead, she straightened her collar, pulled her cuffs, and brushed her pants. Finally, she adjusted her sitting posture, looked at the fat Professor Adams, and then looked at the thin Professor Chandler.
He coughed and said, "Professor, can I... smoke?"
"Of course." Professor Chandler, overwhelmed by his aura, showed a bewildered expression for the first time. But now is not a hundred years later, not only in the office but also in the public restaurant, everyone smokes. And since 1920, women smoking has been regarded as a "modern" female independent behavior.
Professor Adams took out his expensive pipe, Professor Chandler took out his custom-made cigar, and our Master Yuan had no choice but to take out a pack of camels. He instantly felt that he had lost a lot of his status, so he secretly decided that he must be able to stand out from other gentlemen in this "gentleman's hobby" in the future.
The three old smokers started puffing away, and the room was immediately filled with smoke.
Yuan Yan took a few puffs of her cigarette and then said leisurely, "I have always believed that a good theory should be concise and clear, just like the mass-energy formula proposed by Mr. Albert Einstein: E=mc^2, which reveals the relationship between mass and energy to us laymen."
The meaning of this sentence is: Let the students show off first, this is called imposing.
He stole a glance and saw that Professor Adams had a puzzled look on his face, while Professor Chandler also raised his eyebrows. These days, the theory of relativity is a powerful tool for showing off. In the Western world, if you haven't read the special and general theories of relativity (of course, whether you understand them or not is another question), you can't call yourself an intellectual.
After showing off, it’s time to get down to business.
