Economics is no longer the "dismal science" dreaded by college freshmen. In recent years, a band of economists has broken away from the charts and graphs of college textbooks, and begun to explain ordinary behavior in plain and often entertaining English. Steve Landsburg was one of the first of the new breed, in his book The Armchair Economist and long-running "Everyday Economics" column in Slate magazine. Now he is back, and more provocative than ever. In More Sex is Safer Sex , Landsburg shows how the rational behavior of each one of us -- when combined together -- produces the often bizarre, seemingly irrational behavior of crowds. We all stand up at the ballpark, so none of us can see. We avoid casual sex, from fear of disease, and we thereby make sex more dangerous. Things really get interesting when Landsburg suggests ways to change the rules, and game the system. Why not charge juries if a convicted felon is exonerated? Why not have each member of Congress represent a national subset of voters, chosen alphabetically? Why not solve the ""overpopulation"" problem by having more children, who will help think of ways to improve our use of resources? More Sex is Safer Sex will make you laugh and argue -- and it will make you think about the world around you in new and unforgettable ways.

看彆人對此書的評論,大多是贊譽有加,我卻無從下筆。直觀的感覺是例證和論述都頗為繁冗囉嗦,缺少洞見。即使有新穎的意見,也被淹沒在口水中。 作者所謂反常識的論述,其實大多逃不開經典經濟學的理論約束。至於用“反常識”的標簽來吸引眼球,其實隻是一個噱頭,因為經濟學...
評分正好在圖書館看到有這書,所以就藉瞭,放那裏一直沒顧上看,因為手頭的書太多,後來發現手裏的書不夠周轉,因為限額是5本,要藉其他書先得還掉手裏的,如果一眼沒看就還,有點虧,所以就抓緊時間看看。 以前曾經看過鞦葉寫的書評,所以好奇,不明白為什麼性越多還有且於防治艾...
評分值得一看,不過也彆太當真。 這是一本通俗經濟學的讀本,對很多傳統或者說保守的觀點,從經濟學的角度提齣瞭挑戰,促人深思。可以被我列入讀後增長智慧的書。 但也僅此而已,韆萬不要把它當成一本嚴肅的經濟學著作。
評分我並不是說自己是封建禮教的衛道士,而是實在是邏輯有問題 如果一個人原先性保守,潔身自好,突然去外麵亂搞瞭,確實是擴充瞭這個群體的基數,也使得一部分原先可能和得艾滋病的人亂搞的人和這個人搞瞭,使得這一部分人不患艾滋,但這首先就有一個邏輯漏洞,就是 那個得艾滋的...
評分在我看來第一章是最精彩的,以經濟學的方法科學論證瞭禁欲教育所帶來的齣乎意料的糟糕效果,事情的真相常常事與願違,後文中還指齣瞭環保教育也可能陷入類似的誤區。順帶嘲諷瞭宗教保守主義,畢竟宗教的本質是不斷召喚過去來支持現在的閤法性。其他章節也多有精彩的內容,其核...
