Aldo Rustichini is a genial Italian economist with a head of hair that seems to have been modelled on Albert Einstein's. A professor at Cambridge and the University of Minnesota, he quickly transformed my interview with him into a full-blown undergraduate-style tutorial, occasionally asking me questions to check my understanding. Yet this likeable economist has been carrying out work with potentially explosive implications – including the possibility that economic success is genetically transmitted.
阿爾多?魯斯蒂奇尼(Aldo Rustichini)是一位和藹的意大利經濟學家,一頭白發仿佛是阿爾伯特?愛因斯坦(Albert Eistein)的翻版。作為劍橋大學(Cambridge)和明尼蘇達大學(University of Minnesota)的教授,魯斯蒂奇尼很快將我對他的采訪變成了徹頭徹尾的大學生個別輔導,并偶爾提幾個問題來考查我的理解程度。但是這位可愛的經濟學家一直在從事可能帶來爆炸性影響的工作——其中包括經濟上的成功可以遺傳的可能性。
