自2019年起，浙江工商大学学者李井奎教授与复旦大学出版社携手，历经七年精心打磨，至2025年9月 完成了全部11卷本单行本的翻译出版。11月，复旦大学出版社与中信出版集团将联合推出最新套书版 本。 文集译者、浙江工商大学李井奎教授坦言，翻译的初衷源于钱塘江边的一个"小想法"，即：希望为学界 提供接触凯恩斯著作的良好渠道。李井奎教授分享了其对凯恩斯思想的独特阐释。他指出，凯恩斯经济 学的逻辑根源深植于其《论概率》中的"不确定性"思想，其革命性在于打破了古典经济学的单一均衡世 界观，转向基于主观归纳概率的多重均衡。 这位学者表示，凯恩斯并非简单的干预主义者，其思想蕴含着对文明的高度关切。这套文集的翻译出 版，旨在引导读者穿透文字迷雾，探寻凯恩斯思想的真意。李井奎在译文中新增了大量注脚，对历史背 景、专业概念及易误解之处进行详细注解，极大提升了译本的学术价值与可读性。浙江大学经济学院院 长苗建军评价道："这是一项了不起的成就，因为凯恩斯的书非常难读。" 复旦大学出版社总编辑王卫东表示，凯恩斯的思想深刻影响了世界经济格局与政策实践。此次发布的文 集系统收录了从《印度的通货与金融》到《就业、利息和货币通论》等凯恩斯各 ...

Core Concept - The article discusses the "market for ideas" theory and its limitations in understanding the evolution of economic thought, emphasizing the importance of both supply and demand in the production and acceptance of ideas [4][6]. Group 1: Market for Ideas Theory - The "market for ideas" theory posits that ideas function as a special commodity, with supply and demand dynamics influencing their production and acceptance [4]. - Idea providers, such as thinkers and economists, are motivated by reputation, status, and financial gain, while demanders include governments, businesses, and the public [4][6]. - Historical events, such as technological revolutions and political changes, can significantly impact the demand structure for ideas, leading to shifts in prevailing paradigms [4][6]. Group 2: Limitations of the Theory - The application of the "market for ideas" theory to economic thought faces challenges due to the complex interplay of social, economic, and political factors that influence idea evolution [6]. - Unlike natural sciences, where new theories often replace old ones, economic thought tends to have multiple competing schools coexisting over extended periods [6]. Group 3: Idea Value Chain - The article introduces the "idea value chain" model, which views the production and dissemination of ideas as a multi-step process involving raw material collection, concept construction, theory building, value transformation, and dissemination [8][9]. - Each step in the value chain can be seen as a sub-market with its own supply and demand dynamics, influencing the overall effectiveness of the idea's impact on society [8][9]. Group 4: Historical Examples - The rise of Marxism is cited as an example of a complete and effective idea value chain, where extensive empirical material was collected, leading to the development of a coherent theoretical framework and successful dissemination [9][10]. - In contrast, utopian socialism, represented by figures like Saint-Simon and Fourier, lacked a robust theoretical framework and effective dissemination mechanisms, resulting in limited real-world impact [10]. Group 5: Mechanisms of Change - The article outlines five typical patterns of change in the idea value chain, including upstream disruption, midstream reorganization, downstream feedback, communication revolutions, and multi-chain competition [23][25][26]. - Each pattern illustrates how shifts in societal needs, academic focus, or communication methods can lead to the emergence of new ideas or the reconfiguration of existing ones [23][25][26].
