Synopsis
On December 5, 2004, the still-developing blogosphere took one of its biggest steps toward mainstream credibility, as Nobel Prize–winning economist Gary S. Becker and renowned jurist and legal scholar Richard A. Posner announced the formation of the Becker-Posner Blog.
In no time, the blog had established a wide readership and reputation as a reliable source of lively, thought-provoking commentary on current events, its pithy and profound weekly essays highlighting the value of economic reasoning when applied to unexpected topics. Uncommon Sense gathers the most important and innovative entries from the blog, arranged by topic, along with updates and even reconsiderations when subsequent events have shed new light on a question. Whether it’s Posner making the economic case for the legalization of gay marriage, Becker arguing in favor of the sale of human organs for transplant, or even the pair of scholars vigorously disagreeing about the utility of collective punishment, with reference to Israel’s battles with Hezbollah and Hamas, the writing is always clear, the interplay energetic, and the resulting discussion deeply informed and intellectually substantial.
To have a single thinker of the stature of a Becker or Posner addressing questions of this nature would make for fascinating reading; to have both, writing and responding to each other, is an exceptionally rare treat. With Uncommon Sense, they invite the adventurous reader to join them on a whirlwind intellectual journey. All they ask is that you leave your preconceptions behind.

評分 評分前麵的章節還行,後麵的就沒意思瞭。 法學傢希望把一切都用法律約束起來,經濟學傢希望用經濟學解釋一切,其實,他們都錯瞭。無論是經濟學還是法學都隻是社會科學的一部分,都不能完全解釋這個社會。所以他們的解釋都足夠狹隘。 想要解釋這個社會,必須要綜閤起所...
評分Becker和Posner的博客,http://becker-posner-blog.com/. 我每周一放學迴來準時打開拜讀新文。每周都被他們簡單有力的說理打倒在地甘拜粉絲一次。 書譯的不知道怎麼樣,我看瞭下目錄,文章基本上都讀過。以下是一點點小筆記。 齣售移民權 1. 5W美元一攬子齣售移民權好處:比...

I've always found some of Becker's thoughts fascinating, yet overall the ideas in this collection are not that uncommon, esp. after one gets used to his way of economic thinking.
