專欄經濟租金

Wayne Rooney and Ricardo forge the ultimate dream team
魯尼高薪從何而來?


FT專欄作家約翰•凱:經濟租金的金額和分配是政治經濟相互作用的產物。魯尼的薪水爲何遠超當年最偉大的球員?銀行家爲何坐擁高額獎金?

Wayne Rooney recently signed a new contract with Manchester United. The agreement guaranteed him £50m over its four-year life, equivalent to £250,000 a week. Mr Rooney is an exceptionally gifted footballer, but has few other evident talents. If he were not employed as a footballer, his earnings would probably be modest. And the life of a professional footballer is an exciting one, which attracts media attention and glamorous women. So it is likely that Mr Rooney would be willing to play professional football even if he were paid much less.

韋恩•魯尼(Wayne Rooney)最近與曼聯(Manchester United)簽下了新合約。這份合同保證在4年的有效期內,魯尼將獲得5000萬英鎊,相當於週薪25萬英鎊。作爲一名球員,魯尼稟賦出衆,但他沒有什麼其它明顯的才能。如果不是幹上了足球這一行,他的收入可能會很一般。職業球員的生活激動人心,他們是媒體關注的焦點,也是美女們傾心的對象。所以,即使拿的薪水少很多,魯尼可能還是願意當一名職業球員。
