Content recommendation

"The Contest" is a highly readable social science work by Yale University professor Paul Sabin. It takes a centuryold bet between economists and ecologists as the starting point to take readers to see how the American political and academic circles influence each other. The book combines historical facts with professional knowledge, interesting news and insights, which are both serious and lively.

Economist Julian Simon made a bet with ecologist Paul Elich to predict the future development of the world using the price changes of five metals. The two sides each bought 1,000 US dollars of chromium, copper, nickel, tin and tungsten, and agreed to eliminate inflation factors ten years later. If the price rises, it proves that the earth's resources are scarce, and Simon admits defeat; if the price falls, it proves that the earth's resources are still rich, and Elich admits defeat. The bet is also seen as a showdown between American liberals and conservatives.

How does American science affect politics, and how does American politics affect science "The Contest" will change our stereotypes about environmentalists and conservatives, and also provide amazing insights to all those who care about the future of the world, providing us with a new perspective on the issues of environmental protection and the development of human society.
