  • 60 Second Adventures in Economics
  • 《60秒经济学探奇》
  • Number Four: The Principle of Comparative Advantage.
  • 第四节:比较优势原理
  • Whether you think economies work best if they're left alone or that governments need to do something to get them working,
  • 政府是放手还是管控对经济体更好,姑且不论政府是放手还是管控对经济体更好姑且不论
  • the one thing that can't be controlled is the rest of the world.
  • 至少世界其它部分是无法控制的。
  • Fear of foreign competition once led countries to try and produce everything they needed,
  • 对国外竞争的恐惧 一度让各国试图制造所有所需产品,
  • and impose heavy taxes to keep out foreign goods.
  • 并征重税以阻止外国产品进口。
  • However, economist David Ricardo showed that international trade could actually make everyone better off,
  • 但是,经济学家大卫·李嘉图指出国际贸易能让所有人都更富裕,
  • bringing in one of the first great economic models.
  • 他是最初提出伟大经济学模型的人之一,
  • He pointed out that, even if a country can produce pretty much everything at the lowest possible cost,
  • 他指出就算一个国家能以尽可能低的成本生产几乎所有东西,
  • with what economists call an 'absolute advantage', it's still better to focus on the products it can make most efficiently
  • 具有经济学家所说的“绝对优势”,能集中精力于生产效率最高的产品仍然会更好,
  • that sacrifice the least amount of other goods and let the rest of the world do the same.
  • 牺牲其它产品,让世界其它国家也都这样做。
  • By specialising, they can then export these surpluses to each other and both end up better off.
  • 通过专门化,各国能将剩余出口给别国,这样每个国家都能受益。
  • This is the principle of comparative advantage and it has persuaded many countries to sign up to free-trade agreements,
  • 这就是比较优势原理,这说服了很多国家签署自由贸易协议,
  • but unfortunately, it can take a long time for countries to trade their way to prosperity.
  • 但很不幸,需要很长时间,才能让各国都通过贸易实现繁荣。
  • And because it's now much easier to move to where the money is it's increasingly not only goods that cross borders,
  • 而且因为现在更容易迁移到钱多的地方,不仅商品可以跨越国界,
  • but people which has somewhat uprooted Ricardo's theory.
  • 人也可以,这在某种程度上连根拔起了李嘉图的理论。
