用晚上三个小时的时间,看完了现在比较流行的一本书Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everthing (Steven Levitt & Stephen Dubner, 2006)的中译本(刘祥亚译,广东经济出版社)。 其实很早自己就有了这本书的英文原版,看了一半,觉得很好玩,所...
评分地铁上断断续续把这本书翻完,倒是用了好久的时间。 这书也确实适合这样看,本来章节之间就毫无逻辑可言,玩转的是思维的那灵光一闪,实际说出真相的时候,后续的推理自己就也能完成了。 之前的过多评论都有点过了,好似看完后便开挂一样,经济学的学习模式有了颠覆性影响。 ...
评分读完了《魔鬼经济学》。虽说相对于它的名声,确给人盛名之下,其实难符之感,不过我还是认为,至少它是部值得一读的书。“从根本上改变你看待这个世界的方式”,牛皮吹得大了些,但“揭示隐藏在表象之下的真实世界”,却是基本上名符其实的。 首先,我并没有将它作为一部纯正...
评分非常推荐这本书, 最近利用在地铁以及厕所时间在读. 读这本书的过程是极其愉快的,总可以打破自己很多习以为常,默认的观念,这本书让我想起来了另外一本书 ,outliers,都是在对我们很多习惯的观念进行分析与思考,结果是会让我们发现,实际上多少约定俗成的观念实际上是错...
评分可别看到“经济学”三个字就望而却步。这实在是一本相当有趣的读物。 正如副标题“解释隐藏在表象之下的真实世界”,此书的目的便是用经济学的分析方法去解释一些在我们平常看来和经济无关的事情。看看书的目录你便明白这一点了,“学校老师跟相扑运动员之间有何共同之处”...

Economics is not widely considered to be one of the sexier sciences. The annual Nobel Prize winner in that field never receives as much publicity as his or her compatriots in peace, literature, or physics. But if such slights are based on the notion that economics is dull, or that economists are concerned only with finance itself, Steven D. Levitt will change some minds. In Freakonomics (written with Stephen J. Dubner), Levitt argues that many apparent mysteries of everyday life don't need to be so mysterious: they could be illuminated and made even more fascinating by asking the right questions and drawing connections. For example, Levitt traces the drop in violent crime rates to a drop in violent criminals and, digging further, to the Roe v. Wade decision that preempted the existence of some people who would be born to poverty and hardship. Elsewhere, by analyzing data gathered from inner-city Chicago drug-dealing gangs, Levitt outlines a corporate structure much like McDonald's, where the top bosses make great money while scores of underlings make something below minimum wage. And in a section that may alarm or relieve worried parents, Levitt argues that parenting methods don't really matter much and that a backyard swimming pool is much more dangerous than a gun. These enlightening chapters are separated by effusive passages from Dubner's 2003 profile of Levitt in The New York Times Magazine, which led to the book being written. In a book filled with bold logic, such back-patting veers Freakonomics, however briefly, away from what Levitt actually has to say. Although maybe there's a good economic reason for that too, and we're just not getting it yet. --John Moe
很有趣,更应该算是一本社会学读物。
评分offers very interesting perspectives to understand the wisdom that everyone believes in
评分所以講…經濟學家的副業很多:折學家,舌會學家,心離學家,統雞學家,黍學家,坐家,撒謊家…其實吾覺得有點基礎來看看,再分析分析還是蠻有意思的;沒的入門也不錯…一看,果然是芝加哥經濟學派呀……昂~
评分大杂烩
