Give Me a Place to Stand

给我一个支点

How can one person move something far heavier than they could ever lift?

This chapter is an outline for now. The book is written in public: the full text, stories and cases will be added to this page, at this same address.

Chapter summary

The book opens with Archimedes. A person can move what they could never lift, not by becoming stronger, but by finding a long enough lever and placing the fulcrum in the right spot.

The chapter introduces the three ideas the whole book is built on: force (what you already have), leverage (the tool that amplifies it) and the fulcrum (the point that makes the lever work). Remove any one and nothing moves.

If leverage exists in the physical world, does it exist in the world of wealth?

故事从阿基米德开始。

为什么一个人可以移动自己根本搬不动的东西?不是因为他突然变强了,而是因为他找到了一根足够长的木棍,和一个放对了位置的支点。

这一章第一次建立全书最重要的三个概念:

  • 力量——你本来拥有的东西。
  • 杠杆——把力量放大的工具。
  • 支点——让杠杆真正起作用的那个位置。

三者缺一不可:没有力量,杠杆撬不动任何东西;没有支点,再长的杠杆也只是一根木棍。

如果物理世界存在杠杆,那么财富世界有没有杠杆?
