The Code of Power: When History Meets Economics

Such a short book, but full of wisdom. The analysis of historical events and characters is unique but reasonable, and I cannot refute it with my shallow historical knowledge. From the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, the rise of each ruler was inseparable from various interest groups. In the end, various contradictions fought against each other, leading to unstable rule and even mutual destruction, and the cycle continued. Hope to continue writing.

It uses easy-to-understand language, unique and profound analysis of the other side of history, and powerfully proves the point, thus expounding the general laws of society. Reading this book is not only to understand its content, understand the conclusion of its discussion, and how deeply it can be remembered, but also to learn how it discusses its viewpoints: how to select materials, what kind of arguments to choose, what kind of logic it corresponds to, and the arguments you want to demonstrate, etc. This is a model for people who are unfamiliar with argumentative writing and don't quite understand it. The argumentative thinking in this book is clear and unique, and it is worth learning.

The author analyzes history from the perspective of human nature and modern people, making it more accessible, easier to understand and more immersive. The viewpoint is novel and persuasive, and is different from previous history books.

With a very unique perspective, the author does not tell the story in a straightforward manner like ordinary historical authors, but uses subtitles and modern language to explore the underlying meaning. As we often say in history, history is always worth looking back on. Whether history is true or false, the key is that it can reflect the present and that era. It's worth reading. The author is very talented.

The analysis of many historical stories broke the original cognition and was in line with the logic of human nature. It allowed me to re-understand history from a human perspective, and gradually understood the reason why today's society is the way it is. At the same time, we should recognize the deviation of mainstream history's interpretation of famous figures. The reason why a person can survive in the long river of history must have something special about him, rather than a completely positive image or an evil person. This made me learn to look at things dualistically. Very good book

The author, the perspective of history is novel. History is far neither as simple nor as complicated as we seem to imagine. The author shows us the different history of Qin and Han Dynasty in an incisive way, using corporate image metaphors, which benefits people a lot.

It took me 8 months to finish reading this book. I always think of it in my spare time and cannot forget it. This book takes us on a tour of the backside of history from the perspective of power flow, and observes the present through the lens of history. After reading it, I gained a lot of insights into thinking, perspective and power itself - this is also a unique point in history. As long as you analyze it in depth, you will often gain a lot. The perspective of this book is novel, and although there are shortcomings, compared to the bold expression of history, it is not a problem. A good book cannot be constrained by fear of criticism. It is suitable for reading by people who want to gain a perspective on current life from history, and by people who like to think deeply. Of course, it is also suitable for passing time without purpose. This book is also interesting enough. Leave a tail: What impressed me deeply was the author's view on the word "rule". It describes the whole, but the two words need to be viewed separately. For people in different positions, some need to be good at unifying, while others need to be good at governing. Those who are good at governing can put down their excessive concern for the "governance" of their subordinates, and only need to do macro-control, and development will be better. Of course, the premise is that the rights, responsibilities, and interests in the system... I have applied some of the principles to my life My expression is far behind the author's interestingness, depth, and grasp of details. Hopefully this will attract a friend or two to read this great book.

It is highly recommended to read, especially for those who write novels, as it introduces the changes in historical events from a regular basis. If you can read it to the end, you will be able to grasp the grand narratives of many authors at your fingertips. Whether it is political changes or the hot spots of internal conflicts, they can be well written and well-founded.

This book made me re-understand the Warring States Period, which originally seemed boring and even incomprehensible. It turns out that history is like this. It turns out that there is so much wisdom buried behind every famous historical figure and familiar historical story. In short, this book is so well written! I downloaded it and am ready to collect it!

This is a good book that reflects history into reality and uses ancient metaphors to describe the present. The book lives up to its name. The author interprets historical events from a novel perspective. The language is easy to understand and concise. Reading it makes people feel that they are immersed in the scene, but the meaning is still endless. The words are exhaustive but the meaning is endless. The author deciphers the code of rights and listens to both the dark and the bright. This book is worth reading.
