摘要

Vanity Economics is a very ambitious book. Its aim is to revisit the state of the art of economic research on interpersonal relationships, both within the family and at the societal level, through the lenses of a new, unifying concept: "vanity." Simon Fan describes vanity as a combination of social status and self-esteem. The content is based on rigorous academic research that is made accessible to a wider audience. The book is in fact very entertaining and makes interesting reading even for nonspecialists, since it covers almost any conceivable topic touching the realms of sex and marriage-including of course pre- and extramarital extensions-and social relationships from a provocative perspective. The style is to convey the main points through amusing anecdotes and well-chosen stories taken from the press. A few chapters are devoted to an effective presentation of preexisting relevant economic theories, from Thomas Malthus to Gary Becker and more. An intuitive explanation is provided, whenever necessary, for game-theoretic concepts such the prisoner's dilemma and the battle of the sexes. Rich empirical evidence in support of the key claims is also provided. Overall, the book is therefore very instructive.

机译：《名利场经济学》是一本非常雄心勃勃的书。它的目的是通过一个新的统一概念：“虚荣”，重新审视关于家庭内部和社会层面人际关系的经济研究的最新水平。西蒙·范（Simon Fan）将虚荣描述为社会地位和自尊的结合。内容基于严格的学术研究，可以使更广泛的受众访问。实际上，这本书非常有趣，即使是非专业人士，也可以读到有趣的书，因为它涵盖了几乎所有可以想到的话题，涉及性和婚姻领域，当然包括婚前和婚外恋以及社会关系，都具有挑衅性。风格是通过有趣的轶事和媒体精心挑选的故事来传达要点。从托马斯·马尔萨斯（Thomas Malthus）到加里·贝克尔（Gary Becker）等，有几章专门介绍了已有的相关经济理论。必要时，针对游戏理论的概念（如囚徒的困境和性别之战）提供直观的解释。还提供了支持主要主张的丰富经验证据。总的来说，这本书很有启发性。

7. : "This paper deals with the functionality of the flaked stone assemblages from several Neolithic sites of the NE of the Iberian Peninsula. The chronological framework ranges from the mid-6th to the mid-4th millennium cal. BCE, which corresponds to the Early and Middle Neolithic. This long period ranges from the arrival of the first farming communities in the Iberian Peninsula, around 5600-5500 cal. BCE, to 3600-3500 cal. BCE, two millennia later, when Neolithic communities had stably occupied most of the available territory, from the mountainous areas of the Pyrenees to the coastal areas of the Mediterranean.In this context, the NE of the Iberian Peninsula is one of the areas where a major number of use-wear analyses have been carried out, especially for what concerns the Neolithic period. This is mainly due to the interest shown by the directors of the excavations and by the Spanish use-wear specialists as well; both participated and cooperated in order to enlarge the number of contexts studied, making the NE of the Iberian Peninsula one of the areas of Europe with the largest number of ‘functional studies’. As a result, today we have a reliable picture of the type of lithic tools used by the first farming groups, how they were used, and which needs they were satisfying.The methodology employed for this type of analysis is today broadly shared by most use-wear specialists. A stereoscopic microscope is used together with a reflected-light microscope for the analysis of the archaeological specimens. Afterwards, the observed use-wear traces are compared with the traces from experimental tools. This study primarily made use of the tools preserved at the ‘Traceoteque’ of the Institución Milà y Fontanals of the CSIC of Barcelona.This paper presents the results obtained for the different types of analysed sites and the relative lithic assemblages. In this way, tools from different contexts are compared: open-air sites, caves and rock-shelters, pit-sites, burials, and mining sites. Such a diversity of contexts allowed for the exploration of the existence of recurrences and differences in the functionality of the lithic tools from one site to another. The results obtained have also provided information on some aspects related to the economic processes carried out at the different sites, caves, rock-shelters and open-air contexts. It has been possible to gain fresh data on the types of tasks carried out and their relative importance for each site, their relation with the geographical and environmental context and the natural resources available there. In addition, analysing tools recovered from burials – mainly individual inhumations – provided information on the relationships between the buried individuals and the working tools, in particular exploring the relationships between sex and age patterns and the types of tools deposited as goods.In conclusion, use-wear analysis allowed for the exploration of a variety of issues; from technical aspects related to the production and management of the lithic resources to social aspects related to the subsistence activities and the individuals that carried them out."
