一个简单的想法，要认真对待。

"The past is always tense, the future perfect."

Empirical evidence should drive economic policy, not just ideology.

经济历史的研究不仅仅是关于过去；它是关于理解当前不平等的根源。

"The more you play, the more you learn about yourself and the game."

I am a writer because I need to tell stories. It's a way of understanding life.
