The Power Code: 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.

As the book says, the value of history lies in providing us with case references. Moreover, some of the views in the book are very similar to the way of thinking of modern people. For example, during the "Hundred Schools of Thought" period, I felt that people at that time were more modern. But I hate Shang Yang the most. Although his reforms made Qin strong, they were too harsh on the people. There is a sentence in the book that impressed me deeply: "The management is eager for quick success, ignores risk assessment, and rashly takes over non-performing assets, which ultimately leads to serious losses and bankruptcy of the company." Isn't this the battle of Changping? All in all, this book is worth reading and will give you a lot to think about.

Books are ships of thought, sailing through the waves of the times. It is laden with valuable cargo and transported to one generation after another. ——Bacon

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 is like a wise and wise elder who narrates the wonderful stories of celebrities from past dynasties who changed the world, and gives objective and profound comments with the thinking of a scholar and politician. After reading it, you will be moved! Learned🙏🏻

It opened up my world and made me pay attention again to the factors that I ignored when studying history.

A window opened, and for the first time I knew that history could be interpreted in this way, and I learned a lot. This book helps cultivate the ability to think deeply

This book fully embodies the author's wisdom. He dissects some superficial events in history books and digs out the real logic behind them. After reading it, people feel like they are suddenly enlightened. Very beneficial!

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.

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!

The content is easy to understand and the perspective is unique, worth watching

Zhao Gaojiao's edict is just a conjecture in history... Regardless of whether it is true or not, Fusu was exiled. Ying Zheng had many sons, and there was no possibility for him to succeed... Meng Tian was the guard, so Fusu committed suicide...

Regarding history, the correct attitude is neither to joke about it nor to worship it like an ancestral tablet, but to approach it from a more technical perspective and dissect it step by step - why a dynasty rises and rises; when a dynasty falls, why it falls. The truly valuable history is actually like the autopsy reports and pathological analysis reports of the dynasty. This book is a pertinent and insightful pathological analysis report~

I originally came here for a quick lunch with some cool historical articles, but I accidentally stumbled into this book and was forced to study a lot [laughing and crying]. A very good book. Many times people have only vague judgments or instincts about how to do things. This book not only tells you how to do things at each time, but also explains it very clearly by citing scriptures. This shows that the author has a deep research on this subject. In addition, I also revisited the historical stories I learned when I was a child, and gained a lot of new thoughts on points that I didn't understand at the time.

Although they are all common historical stories. However, the author explores the economic factors behind these historical stories, and his analysis is well-founded and his perspective is novel. Very nice. But it is short and seems to end before the fun is over. 😂

Different perspectives create different historical experiences, well written! Although this is not the first time I have read a book about Zhao Kuo's overturning the case, I personally feel that it is better not to overturn the case. History has its own unique beauty. Overturning the case always feels like something will be turned over, as if something precious has been turned over.

It has a novel angle and understands human nature. It is worth watching.

Well written, you can understand history and the truth from another perspective

Isn't it that the author is crazy about producing 147 books when he opens the homepage? I'm not a winner. I can't write so much and I can't even read so much. This book is really well written. It summarizes the wisdom of previous generations, and then gives you detailed analysis of specific things. It gives you examples to make you understand. It has already been chewed up and fed to you. It makes you think about problems from multiple angles and teaches you how to apply them in real life. It is really beneficial. Thank you.

I have learned to look at history from a new perspective. History is not so fancy. Only by respecting the rules and persevering can we achieve the desired results. Of course, it also requires great wisdom.

Analyzing historical issues from an economic perspective may seem like a God's perspective, but when it comes to current personal development and management, the logic is still the same. Again, there is nothing new under the sun. I think it's good that it corrects some subjective issues that may exist in history from a human perspective. A matter of opinion.

If you want to read books that are more profound and connotative, you should go to some non-famous authoritative writers. Their writing is often easy to understand and humorous. They are not like those famous writers who chatter about a lot of nouns and play with a sense of superiority. I like to give full marks to them.

This book is described by the author from different angles. Historical events are presented in my mind from different angles. I have benefited a lot from many historical laws and wisdom of the ancients. It is worth recommending that everyone calmly read it and appreciate it.

The perspective is objective and can penetrate the back of the paper. The world is prosperous, and everyone is here for profit. The world is full of hustle and bustle, all for the benefit of others. Distribution of interests, conduct of life and work, are everywhere.
