《行动的勇气》金融危机回忆录
2009年，《时代》杂志将时任美联储主席本·伯南克(Ben Bernanke)评选为年度人物。伯南克当选的理由是他成功带领美国度过自大萧条以来最严重的经济危机。这本《行动的勇气》就是伯南克对自己作为金融监管者职业生涯的回顾。对于任何想要了解金融危机始末以及美联储运作细节的读者，这本略显冗长书都是上好的选择。
《伦巴第街》最后的贷款人
白浩芝最有名的论述是央行应当在金融危机中充当最后的借款人的角色(The Lender of the Last Resort)。白浩芝认为，金融恐慌(Financial Pandemic)中，民众对于金融机构的流动性产生怀疑，更加愿意持有黄金或者现金而不是存款证明，于是造成银行挤兑，央行在恐慌中的首要任务是结束恐慌。
从小说《芳华》到电影《芳华》
冯小刚当然可以说《芳华》是他对青春的美好回忆，但是你很难不感到那是被过分美化、离真实太遥远的青春。电影芳华再现了那个黄金年代，给往事增添了许多美感，但也让人物塑造少了深度。原著小说里，中年的刘峰和萧穗子相聚，萧穗子给刘峰看林丁丁的照片，被刘峰拒绝，他宁愿林丁丁永远是记忆中心动的模样。芳华电影的视角与此类似，已经逝去的青春和从未得到的美好都让人叹惋，但沉醉在个人回忆里难免让电影失去打动更多人的力量。

《致命的自负》：商业的价值
《致命的自负》是哈耶克晚年的最后一本著作。这本书出版于1970年代，主旨是批判社会主义计划经济。最初看到这本书的简介并没有引起我的兴趣，一方面是这种对市场经济的批判在今天已经显得过时，拥抱市场经济似乎是理所当然的选择，另一方面包括我的大多数人都能说出一两点计划经济的弊端：经济决策过程里面信息的不完全、不及时和不对称。

期权税务研究三
最佳的行权策略必去考虑如何平衡行权的资金、税收和长期持有的风险。为了平衡资金和税务风险，一个策略是在IPO之后卖掉一部分的股票，然后产生足够支付行权费用和AMT税的陷进，将剩下的期权行权之后等到时间足够再卖出以获得税收优惠。这仅仅适用于ISO股票，对于NSO股票和RSU并不适用。

《君主论》的启示
《君主论》提供了一个更加丰富的视角：从利益出发而不是从道德出发思考现实的政治，思考和判断人们作出行动的动机。这样丰富的视角是完全有必要和珍贵的。尤其是作为一个管理者，在现实的组织政治当中，如何有效的识别他人的政治行动和周围的政治环境，如何有效的采取行动来获得成效，是一个应当不断被思考的问题。

Why Agile Project Management?
I learnt extreme programming in my graduate study. The course name was software engineering and the students grouped together to finish an academic project over the semester in an agile, or extreme programming(then name) manner. Looking back, I have to admit that I didn’t really learn the secret of agile.
