James M. Buchanan, a 1986 Nobel laureate in economics

The inverse relationship between quantity demanded and price is the core proposition in economic science, which embodies the presupposition that human choice behavior is sufficiently rational to allow predictions to be made. Just as no physicist would claim that "water runs uphill," no self-respecting economist would claim that increases in the minimum wage increase employment. Such a claim, if seriously advanced, becomes equivalent to a denial that there is even minimal scientific content in economics, and that, in consequence, economists can do nothing but write as advocates for ideological interests. Fortunately, only a handful of economists are willing to throw over the teaching of two centuries; we have not yet become a bevy of camp-following whores.”
翻译并说明涉及

先翻译下第一篇吧
题目就不翻译了
1,这篇涉及的原理是最低工资制度会影响就业率,也就是最低工资越高,就业率就越低。翻译如下:
价格和需求成反比关系这个定理可谓是经济学的核心理论,这个理论体现了对人类行为的假设,即每个人都是完全理性的,并对自己的行为做出理性的选择。没有一个经济学家会承认最低工资制度会提高就业率就像没有一个物理学家会承认“水往高处走”一样。如果宣称提高最低工资会提高就业率就会使得经济学中仅存的一点点科学成分被摧毁,结果,经济学只会沦落为为意思形态摇旗呐喊的工具。幸运的是只有少数经济学家要抛弃两个世纪建立起来的经济学交易。我们并不是只是为政府摇旗呐喊.
2,很多年以前,经济学家认为世界上没有免费的午餐,但是现在好像找到了一种免费的午餐那就是提高最低工资的提议。通过立法提高了最低工资超出了市场需求决定的平衡工资好像不会耗费任何东西(或者,不会耗费很多东西,因为那数量很少,毕竟那只是边际增长)这是否正确?太正确了!但那只是在选民的投票中被检验,我不得不颤抖地承认这个理论。
其实这篇涉及的经济学原理与上一篇一样。。(不是直接翻译,根据个人理解翻译的,不知道能不能满足你的要求)
