拙作《经济运行的逻辑》面市之际，渣打银行大中华区的经济学家王志浩（Stepehen Green，他是一个英国人，却起了一个特别中国化的中文名字）博士欣然做文推荐，并讨论了他从事中国经济分析的一些感悟。评论文章见下文（中英文对照）。需要说明的是，其中的美言部分显然属于过誉之词，作者本人万不敢当。

我觉得对于想认真研究当今中国经济的人来说，有这么几个关键的准则需要认真把握：

第一，你得很小心数据。数据不一定都不准确，但为了恰当地运用这些数据，你需要明白每个数据序列可能存在的问题。

第二，你得尽量走出办公室。中国发生着什么不是光看数据就能看出来的。你得知道政策是如何执行的；企业在做什么；消费者感受到了什么……不走出去，不跟人们交谈你就搞不清楚现实状况。

第三，阅读高善文博士所撰写的每篇文章。他能够把聪明的短期市场判断与深刻的宏观框架结合起来，这在当今只有少数的经济学家能够做到，在中国范围内如此，在全球范围内也是如此。结果就是，读他的作品总是会让你去思考一些新的东西，并启发一些有趣的交易机会。他真正是世界级的——对此，他的新著《经济运行的逻辑》就是明证。

There are a few rules which I think are pretty much essential for anyone serious about studying China’s economy today.

Rule #1: You should be careful with the data: it is not all bad, but you need to understand the problems with each series in order to use it properly.

Rule #2: Get out of the office as much as you can. So much of what is happening today in China is not in the data; its driven by how policy is being implemented, what firms are doing, how consumers are feeling, and to get a sense of that there is no substitute for getting out there and talking to people.

Rule #3. Always read everything Gao Shanwen writes. He is one of the very few economists working today – not just in China but globally – who combine smart, short-term market views with a thoughtful macro-framework. As a result, reading his work will always give you something new to think about and something interesting to trade. He genuinely is world-class – and this latest book is testament to that fact.
