Chapter 104 The first lesson

,.Recommended: The new work of the master of Moxiang Pisces "The Age of Collapse" http://m./2_2839/

"Keynes still believed in the traditional free trade theory until the end of the 1920s, believing that protectionism is not desirable for domestic economic prosperity and employment growth. Even when he debated with Swedish economist Olin on the issue of German reparations in 2929, he insisted that the balance of payments would automatically restore balance through changes in domestic and international price levels."

"But when his representative work "General Theory of Employment, Interest and Currency" was published in 36 years, Keynes reversed his past position and instead emphasized the impact of trade differences on national income. He believed that if protection policies could bring about trade surpluses, they would definitely help improve investment levels and expand employment, and ultimately lead to economic prosperity."

"What does this mean? That is, a completely free economy can no longer adapt to the needs of modern society and even become a burden for our productivity improvement."

"Classic economists and neoclassical economists both agree with laissez-faire economic policies, while Keynes opposes these and advocates that states directly interfere in the economy. There is no doubt that Keynes is a great economist who dares to break the shackles of old ideas, admits that there is involuntary unemployment, and puts forward the proposal of state intervention in the economy for the first time, which has made great contributions to the entire macroeconomics."

"A country's total economic output, total demand and total supply, total national income and composition, currency and finance, population and employment, factors and endowments, economic cycles and economic growth, economic expectations and economic policies, international trade and international economy, etc., will be summarized and become the macroeconomics we are going to talk about today."

"Macroeconomics studies the use of economic resources, including national income determination theory, employment theory, inflation theory, economic cycle theory, economic growth theory, fiscal and monetary policy."

"So how to use it, how to use it, who will take control of this power?" Zhou Nan turned around and wrote a word on the blackboard: Government.

Today is Zhou Nan's first class at the University of Lucerne. Although the University of Lucerne has been mentally prepared and there will be many people listening to the class, he did not expect that the auditorium they had made specially for was also stuffed.

The University of Lucerne is very small, with only two colleges, namely the Seminary and the School of Humanities and History. They have very few students, only more than 300 people, and the campus is pitifully small, and the largest auditorium can only sit 300 people.

However, only half of the students came to listen to the class today, most of them were students and professors from other universities, and many politicians came to listen.

Those foreigners took letters of introduction from embassy and consulates, and the External Relations Department of the University of Lucerne did not have the courage to refuse. Because half of the funding of this school comes from foreign churches.

Lucerne's TV station also sent two photographers to set up a photographer to take pictures of Zhou Nan's class.

Zhou Nan did not disappoint anyone. He analyzed the differences between classical economy and modern economy, the differences between free economy and macroeconomics from the beginning. Then he began to emphasize the increasingly important role of government, politics, and the economic links.

The first class is just the general outline. The class Zhou Nan taught did not have ready-made books, so the students buried their heads one by one and remembered what Zhou Nan said.

Zhou Nan was not in a hurry to write this book on political economy. He was planning to wait until the lecture was finished this semester this year, remove all the content and then prepare to release it.

"The government must play a greater role in the economic link, not for regulation, but for regulation. Perhaps, those free economists will think that my thoughts are left-leaning, but I can tell you clearly that I am absolutely neutral."

"No matter whether any policy or model, it can exist because it has certain advantages. Existence is reasonable. There is a positive side in the free economy, and there are also commendable advantages in the planned economy. So, how to integrate the advantages of both aspects and play a more active role in the government is what I will tell you later."

Zhou Nan turned around and wrote the words politics and economy on the blackboard, and then connected them together with a line.

"If you want to know what political economy is, then you must first understand what politics is? What is economy? What is the role of politics? What is the specific relationship between politics and economy! "

...

...

For two hours, Zhou Nan did not stop for a moment except for a few sips of water, and completely listed the overall framework of political economy. This is the content and learning aspect. Zhou Nan also explained to the students what books to check and what content to understand before the next class so that they can more easily understand the knowledge taught by Zhou Nan.

After class, Principal Dartsville stood up first, clapped his hands, and made warm applause sound in the auditorium.

Zhou Nan waved, but he didn't even bother to call him, so he turned around and walked out.

Etini came over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Nan also replied in a low voice: "I can't hold it in anymore."

He couldn't help but smile and led Zhou Nan out. "When the toilet is out, turn left, behind the podium, I will clean up your lesson plan."

The people in the classroom were still wondering. When they saw Zhou Nan running towards the toilet, they couldn't help laughing. Following him, many people couldn't hold it in and ran towards the toilet one by one.

Zhou Nan came out with a relaxed look and nodded to everyone who greeted him, and felt that the scene was really funny.

In the future, either don’t teach such a long class, or be prepared at the beginning and don’t drink too much water.

Zhou Nan was invited by the enthusiastic principal Dartsville and insisted on treating him to lunch. Zhou Nan refused but had to agree to him.

At this time, Soviet Counselor Nikolayev came to Zhou Nan and smiled at him and said, "Mr. Zhou, thank you very much for defending our economic system and admitting that our policies also have certain advantages, but why can't Nanhua allow the existence of the Red Party?"

Zhou Nan shook with him and said, "Nanhua is not a sovereign state in the traditional sense. We must respect the actual situation and formulate policies that meet our actual situation."

"That's why a thorough revolution is needed, which is also the significance of revolution."

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "If I were a child and you were an adult. Now you slapped me and when I couldn't beat you, would you take revenge when I grew up? Or would you fight back at all costs now and then get hurt even worse?"

He nodded and said, "The Soviet education community has always welcomed scholars who can treat the Soviet Union equally to give lectures. If possible, I can arrange such a lecture according to Mr. Zhou's time."

Zhou Nan squeezed out a wry smile and said, "Although I don't have a formal position, I have more mundane things than ordinary people. I originally expected that my new book would be half of this year, but now it is far behind the plan. Before the new book is finished, I have not yet explained the plan for this."

"That's a shame."

After a few more greetings, the counselor said goodbye and left, and Zhou Nan was about to face other guests who were chatting.

It took more than ten minutes before Zhou Nan sent away these politicians and was surrounded by a group of students.

The student who was not familiar with him shouted: "Professor Zhou, your class is so good that I am interested in economics now."

There were also enthusiastic female students who called him Jonas directly. "Jonas, do you need to prepare academic materials for the three masters in the next class? Is it too difficult to study the differences and theoretical advantages between them?"

Zhou Nan put on a teacher's airs and said seriously: "You are just a preliminary understanding now. In the next class, I will state the differences between political economy and classical economics, modern economics, macroeconomics, and microeconomics. If you don't understand it in advance, you may not understand my class."

After sending away the enthusiastic students, Zhou Nan looked at Chen Hanlin who had been by his side and asked, "I will teach in German throughout the whole process. Can you understand?"

"Most of them can understand are just some professional terms that cannot be understood."

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "I need three students to help me organize the lesson plan. Are you willing to do it?"

Chen Hanlin and the others immediately said in surprise: "Of course I do, but... there are four people here..."

Zhou Nan laughed and said, "Then let's have four people..."

They all laughed in surprise and were extremely excited.

Zhou Nan still admires Chen Hanlin. Perhaps because of his family tutoring, he is personally sensitive to politics and likes to study it.

Because his grandfather was dragged down by his father, the Speaker had no hope, and the Prime Minister didn't have to think about it. His father Chen Zhongqing was very capable, but because he was the Red Party before, the Dutch people probably wouldn't allow him to be the Prime Minister.

However, he is very likely to become the first prime minister of the Chen family. Their Chen family not only has great family affairs, but also has great influence from the three generations of grandparents, so Zhou Nan didn't mind winning him over now.

Although the principal treats him, he has a school lunch in the school cafeteria. Because it is a church university, although the school is not big, the welfare benefits are better than ordinary universities. Although the free lunch tastes average, it is rich in nutrition.

When we arrived at the dock, Zhou Nan did not call his home. During the day, the speedboat from the hotel to the dock was one hour after another. It was time to come and there was no need to wait.

When he got home, he met Audrey to take a boat to school.

Audrey's school is on the north shore of the lake, but the yacht's pier is on the south shore next to the railway station. She can only drive her own boat to see her off at a time.

Audrey was a little depressed when she didn't see Zhou Nan at noon, but at this time, she immediately became happy again. She ran back and asked, "Jonas, is the class going smoothly?"

"Of course! The students all liked the class I took! Glewin, go and do your business, I'll take Audrey to school."

Glewin said with a smile: "A sheep is about to be born. Kelly is watching. I'm still a little worried! By the way, Yonas, when will the horse trainer come? Albert and Sergee receive regular training."

Zhou Nan looked at Audrey. Zhou Nan did not know about this. Audrey usually came to Marita and went to the telegram and often wrote letters, so she contacted him more than Zhou Nan.

"Marita has already picked the horse trainer for us, and we are just waiting for our notice! I will send her a telegram when I come back tonight."
