Paul Heyne / 保罗·海恩

Paul Heyne / 保罗·海恩 is the economist and original author of 《经济学的思维方式》 / The Economic Way of Thinking, the book discussed in 61.自从拥有经济学的思维方式,人生都变简单了!. The episode frames him as an unusually effective general-reader economics teacher: he brings major problems forward early, avoids formula-first intimidation, and teaches economics through everyday coordination and choice examples.

The source notes that Heyne died in 2001 and that later editions were continued by other authors who updated cases and parts of the text. For the wiki, his importance is less biographical than pedagogical: he anchors Economic Way Of Thinking as a habit of seeing tradeoffs, institutions, local knowledge, subjective value, and cooperation in ordinary life.
