其实本身也没有很生气，现在反而有点敬佩这个人，他完全可以删推或者不回复，也可以骂回去拉黑我宣布我是傻逼，但他能说句不好意思看错了我觉得已经超过一半的推特的交流了，要是都这样互联网也会美好一点。

Claudia Goldin wins the Nobel prize in economics
Taken together, her research provides a comprehensive history of gender labour-market inequality over the past 200 years. In telling this history, she has overturned a number of assumptions about both historical gender relations and what is required to achieve greater equality in the present day.
If a young woman has more control over when and whether she will have a child, and more certainty about what types of jobs will be available, she can make more informed choices about the future and change her behaviour accordingly, such as by staying in school for longer.
She has demonstrated—again and again—that digging through historical archives allows researchers to credibly answer big questions previously thought beyond their reach.

A century ago, it was a given that a woman with a college degree had to choose between having a career and a family. Today, there are more female college graduates than ever before, and more women want to have both, yet challenges persist at work and at home. Career and Family traces how generations of women have responded to the problem of balancing both as the twentieth century experienced a sea change in gender equality, revealing why true equity for dual career couples remains frustratingly out of reach.

The China Quarterly 几天前在线发表了一篇关于中国县志编纂的论文，开放获取，可免费下载：
地方县志被广泛用于近现代中国地方历史和经济社会的研究。但之前很少有研究能系统性地从内部视角探讨当代中国的县志是如何记述历史的。本文先简述了 1978 年以后中国地方县志的编纂和内部审议的基本流程，并介绍了县志生产流程中用于内部流通和送审的评议稿。我们认为，评议稿是这一流程上的关键中间文本，具有很高的学术价值。通常在县志送交出版之前，当地的编纂团队会先编好阶段性的评议稿，并提交上级，开展跨时数年、至少三轮的内部和外部审定。本文提供的例证选录自广西下辖四县的全套县志评议稿及它们对应的出版本。通过对二者详细的文本比对，我们发现，公开出版本相比内部评议稿存在着严重的数据和事件信度问题。我们的研究明确展示了地方编史的编辑过程，并揭示出地方历史如何通过公开文件进行呈现。

Why Chinese minds still bear the long shadow of Keju
Keju, China’s incredibly difficult civil service test, strengthened the state at the cost of freedom and creativity.
For an institution that had such deep penetration, both cross-sectionally in society and across time in history, Keju was all encompassing, laying claims to the time, effort and cognitive investment of a significant swathe of the male Chinese population.
It was a state institution designed to augment the state’s own power and capabilities. Directly, the state monopolised the very best human capital; indirectly, the state deprived society of access to talent and pre-empted organised religion, commerce and the intelligentsia. Keju anchored Chinese autocracy.
The Keju exams loom as part of China’s human capital formation today, but they also cultivated and imposed the values of deference to authority and collectivism that the Chinese Communist Party has reaped richly for its rule and legitimacy.
The civil service in the West was not a single-platform institution in the way that Keju was. There was a military civil service, a civil service for foreign affairs, for forestry, etc, etc.
In the West, society was vibrant long before the state ramped up its administrative capacity. The rule of law, the principle of accountability, and the powers of the legislature and the political parties were already firmly entrenched.
Since the introduction of the examination system … scholars have forsaken their studies, peasants their ploughs, artisans their crafts, and merchants their trades; all have turned their attention to but one thing – government office. This is because the official has all the combined advantages of the four without requiring their necessary toil …
Keju was an anti-mobility mobility channel. It packed all the upward mobility within one channel – that of the state. Society was crowded out, and over time, due to its deficient access to quality human capital, it atrophied. This is the root of the power of Chinese autocracy and, I would argue, it is a historical development that is unique to China and explains the awesome power of Chinese autocracy.
A striking fact is that no organised intelligentsia of any significant size and visibility ever emerged in imperial China. There were no Chinese equivalents of the Royal Society in Britain or the many learned societies in France.
China has legions of intellectuals, but it is bereft of an intelligentsia.
he most direct way Keju decimated Chinese society is through talent monopoly but there were others. Keju also monopolised the time and mental energy of its candidates
Mental energy aside, the values drilled deeply into Keju candidates were pro-autocracy and authoritarian. Keju legitimates statism.
A bane to human creativity was a boon to autocracy. Standardised testing was conducive to authoritarianism.

李克强10月26日突发心脏病，经全力抢救无效，于10月27日0时10分在上海逝世，享年68岁。官方讣告未拟好，仅公布逝世消息。他今年8月30日还参访了敦煌莫高窟。 （中央电视台）
“Li was viewed as a pragmatic leader and encouraged economic reform, and he was much less ideological than those in the Xi Jinping camp. Unfortunately, Li’s voice was sidelined as premier and effectively silenced, and then ousted and replaced by a loyalist to Xi last year, Zimmerman said. “His passing is a significant loss to the moderate voices in the party leadership,” he added.
