莫顿的“马太效应”《新约圣经》中“马太福音”第25章中有这么几句话:“凡有的,还要加给他叫他多余;没有的,连他们所有的也要夺过来。”并叙述了这样一个故事:国王远行前交给三个仆人各一锭银子,并让他们在自己远行期间去做生意。国王回来后把三个仆人召集到一起,发现第一个仆人已经赚了十锭银子,第二个仆人赚了五锭银子,只有第三个仆人因为怕亏本什么生意也不敢做,最终还是攥着那一锭银子。 Morton’s Matthew effect, the New Testament’s Matthew 25, had such a few words: “All that is to be added to him is to call him unnecessary; And even all of them have to take it.” And narrated a story: Before the king traveled, he gave each of the three servants an ingot and asked them to do business while they were traveling. When the king returned, he brought together three servants and found that the first servant had already earned ten silver coins, the second servant earned five silver coins, and only the third servant did not dare to do anything because of fear of losing money. Look at the silver.
