Mercury, 1531. Artist: Sebald Beham
水星（Mercurius，Mercury）下出生的人是心灵手巧的工匠和科学家，雕金师、雕刻家、钟表匠、管风琴制作者、天文学者、炼金术师（？）。
Male planet, dry and passive; those born under Mercury eloquent, inventive and love science, especially mathematics, and were tall, slender and delicate. Planet's metal quicksilver, its day Wednesday and night Saturday. Friendly to Sun, hostile to Venus. Had two houses, Gemini by day, Virgo by night (see chariot wheels).

●006《纽约时报》丨克鲁格曼: 经济为谁增长(一)
For Whom the Economy Grows
By Paul Krugman
“What’s in a name?” asked Shakespeare. But
hey, I’m an economist, so let me ask a somewhat different question: What’s in a number?
Quite a lot, suggest Senators Chuck Schumer
and Martin Heinrich. This week they introduced a bill that would direct the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which produces estimates of gross domestic product, to produce estimates telling us who benefits from growth — for example, how much is going to the middle class.
This is a really good idea.
Now, I’m not one of those people who think
G.D.P. is a terribly flawed or useless statistic. It’s a number we need for many purposes. But on its own it isn’t an adequate measure of economic success.
There are a number of reasons this is true,
but one key issue is that it tells you only what’s happening to average income, which isn’t always relevant to how most people live. If Jeff Bezos walks into a bar, the average wealth of the bar’s patrons suddenly shoots up to several billion dollars — but none of the non-Bezos drinkers have gotten any richer.
There was a time when asking who benefits from economic growth didn’t seem urgent, because income was rising steadily for just about everyone. Since the 1970s, however, the link between overall growth and individual incomes seems to have been broken for many Americans. On one side, wages have stagnated for many; adjusted for inflation, the median male worker earns less now than he did in 1979. On the other side, some have seen their incomes grow much faster than the income of the nation as a whole. Thus C.E.O.s at the largest companies now make 270 times as much as the average worker, up from 27 times as much in 1980.
