森迪尔·穆莱纳森是“世界上最有趣的年轻经济学家”，而埃尔达尔·沙菲尔则是他那一代人中“最有才华的心理学家”，他们用稀缺的语言解释了一切背后隐藏的问题。为什么我们似乎永远不能掌控我们的工作量、社交日记或家务呢？为什么贫困在世界各地持续存在？为什么成功者会在最后一刻突然充满活力地做事情？在这里，经济学家Sendhil Mullainathan和心理学家Eldar Shafir揭示了所有这些问题背后隐藏的一面，它们都与稀缺有关。他们用稀缺性这一新科学解释了为什么肥胖症猖獗；为什么人们在睡眠不足的情况下很难入睡；为什么孤独的人很难交到朋友。稀缺性将改变你思考日常小任务和全球紧迫性大问题的方式。他们的项目有一种独特的感觉：这是我在我们这个领域见过的最完美的心灵和头脑的结合。(丹尼尔·卡纳曼，《思考，快与慢》的作者)。《稀缺》是一本引人入胜的书，书中充斥着可能会改变你的生活方式的新想法、奇妙故事和简单的建议。(史蒂文·D·莱维特，《魔鬼经济学》的合著者)“一本最具人情味、非常受欢迎的书”。(奥利弗·伯克曼，《卫报》)森迪尔·穆莱纳坦是哈佛大学经济学教授，也是麦克阿瑟基金会“天才奖”的获得者。他从事发展经济学、行为经济学和公司金融方面的研究。他是哈佛大学定量社会科学研究所IDEAS 42的执行主任。埃尔达尔·沙菲尔是普林斯顿大学的威廉·斯图尔特·托德心理学和公共事务教授。他的大部分工作集中于对推理、判断和决策的描述性分析，以及与行为经济学相关的问题。
Sendhil Mullainathan, the 'most interesting young economist in the world', and Eldar Shafir, the 'most brilliant psychologist' of his generation, explain the hidden problem behind everything with Scarcity. Why can we never seem to keep on top of our workload, social diary or chores? Why does poverty persist around the world? Why do successful people do things at the last minute in a sudden rush of energy? Here, economist Sendhil Mullainathan and psychologist Eldar Shafir reveal that the hidden side behind all these problems is that they're all about scarcity. Using the new science of scarcity, they explain why obesity is rampant; why people find it difficult to sleep when most sleep deprived; and why the lonely find it so hard to make friends. Scarcity will change the way you think about both the little everyday tasks and the big issues of global urgency. "Stars in their respective disciplines, and the combination is greater than the sum of its parts. Their project has a unique feel to it: it is the finest combination of heart and head that I have seen in our field". (Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow). "Scarcity is a captivating book, overflowing with new ideas, fantastic stories, and simple suggestions that just might change the way you live". (Steven D. Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics). "An ultimately humane and very welcome book". (Oliver Burkeman, Guardian). Sendhil Mullainathan is a Professor of Economics at Harvard, and a recipient of a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant". He conducts research on development economics, behavioural economics, and corporate finance. He is Executive Director of Ideas 42, Institute of Quantitative Social Science, Harvard University.
