序
《佃農理論》是我學生時的論文習作,大約一九六六年五月動工,一九六七年四月交卷。那時在加州長堤大學任教職,每星期要教十二課,又要在長堤藝術博物館開什麼個人攝影展覽,所以真正下功夫的時間不到六個月。六六年的秋天,我有三個月聽不知音,食不知味。
一九六七年九月到了芝加哥大學,見到那裡的圖書館有很詳盡的資料,就把論文加長了四分之一。芝加哥大學出版社把該書精裝面市時,已是一九六九年了。
《佃農理論》這本書有兩個特色。其一是歷久猶新:出版後三十年,該書及書內的文章每年還被引用大約二十次;另一方面,好些學者朋友認為該書是今天大行其道的合約理論(Contract Theory)及代辦理論(Agency Theory)的「始作俑者」。其二,作為一本「名著」,這本書的滯銷可能破了世界紀錄。
