1. There is a general presumption in Econ 101 that firms should maximize profits, and that this is best for their shareholders and for society. But this notion of “firms” is just a shorthand for people organized in a particular form.

   这里还存在一个更深层次的问题。 “经济学入门”中有一个普遍的假设，即企业应该最大化其利润，而这对其股东和社会也是最有利的。 但是这一“企业”的概念只是以特定形式组织起来的人群的简称，是人 — — 而不是企业 — — 在做决定。 要了解这些决策的性质和影响，我们需要密切关注公司高管和董事会成员的激励机制。

2. Darfur is shorthand for the latest example of a recurring international problem, one that gained headlines a decade ago in Rwanda. What should the world do when a large number of people are the victims of violence originating from within their own country?

   达尔富尔成了国际问题重复出现的最新代名词，同样的问题10年前在卢旺达就登上了头版头条。 如果很多人成了国内暴力活动的牺牲品，那么世界应该做何反应？
