Walden is a quiet small town in England. Cars aren't allowed ( 允许 ) into the centre of the town so it's very pleasant to walk around.
Allow at least half a day to visit the museum. It's on a hill just outside the town in a very old building. One room there tells people the history of the building itself.
The museum brings history to life. You can even ride on a horse and cart ( 马车 ) in the street. I was really interested in a 1950s living room in the museum. It was just like my grandmother's house when I was a child.
If you can wait, there's a new exhibition (展览) opening soon. Walden is famous for one thing -- candy! If you like candy, this exhibition is the place for you -- you can learn about its history. I never see so many different kinds of candy. But don't go now because it doesn't start until the 26th of May.
Have a look round the town of Walden too while you are there. If you start in the main square and follow the green signs, they'll take you to the museum, and you'll see lots of other interesting things on the way, too.

1986年的诺贝尔经济学奖得主布坎南教授可以说是学术界的一位奇人。他以经济学的工具分析政治现象,一手开创了一门新的研究领域,大大地扩充了经济学的视野。他的为人处世也很特立独行:在报纸杂志上以老妪能解的笔调撰文载道,花很多时间和同事后进切磋琢磨。这和一般成名的经济学家离世索居,在象牙塔里经营学问大不相同。
布坎南曾在夏威夷大学作过一系列的专题演讲,其中有一次,他用一个亲身经验来阐释人类经济活动的本质:和大多数美国人一样,布坎南喜欢看美式足球,对每年一月的季后决赛更是不能错过。可是,虽然每场比赛正式的时间只有六十分钟,一旦加上犯规、换场、中场休息、伤停、教练叫停等等,一场下来总要耗掉三个半小时到四个小时,他觉得在电视机前花这么长的时间很浪费,有点罪恶感。可是球赛实在好看,弃之不忍。最后他想出了一个有点阿Q的做法:他把后院里拾来的两大桶核桃搬到客厅里。一边看电视,一边敲核桃(大概也顺便吃几个)。看完一场比赛,他也弄完一小堆的核桃仁。
事实上,布坎南一边看、一边敲、一边还问自己:为什么长时间坐在电视机前会让他有罪恶感,为什么西方资本主义社会强调工作而排斥休闲?只要不干扰别人,游手好闲有什么不好?诺贝尔奖得主毕竟不同凡响。经过一番“推敲”、“咀嚼”,布坎南悟出了一个道理:社会赞许工作,是因为工作不只是对个人有好处,对其他的人也好。我种菜,你养猪,然后我们经由交易,可以互蒙其利而皆大欢喜。这样要比你我自己既要养猪又要种菜来得好。专业化的生产对自己、对别人、对大家,都好。相反地,如果一个人饱食终日、无所事事,那么他自己的得失之外,别人也享受不到他从事生产带来的“交易价值”。因此,布坎南觉得西方社会对“生产”、“工作”赋予道德上正面的价值,直接间接地促进了资本主义的发展和社会的进步。
有人在溪边看到小鱼在水里力争上游而体会出一些生命的意义;布坎南看美式足球而悟出了人类经济活动的本质。有为者亦若是,下次我帮儿子喂奶换尿布时也不要再嘀咕抱怨,我可要好好地动动我的脑筋才是!
