In the summer of 2003, the New York Times Magazine sent Stephen J. Dubner, an author and journalist, to write a profile of Steven D. Levitt, a heralded young economist at the University of Chicago. Levitt was not remotely interested in the things that interest most economists. More...
Instead, he studied the riddles of everyday lifefrom cheating to crime to child-rearingand his conclusions turned the conventional wisdom on its head. For instance, he argued that one of the main causes of the crime drop of the 1990s was the legalization of abortion twenty years earlier. (Unwanted children have a greater likelihood of becoming criminals; with so many unwanted children being aborted in the 1970s, the pool of potential criminals had significantly shrunk by the 1990s.) The Times article yielded an unprecedented response, a deluge of interest from thousands of curious, inspired, and occasionally distraught readers. Levitt and Dubner collaborated on a book that gives full play to Levitts most compelling ideas. Through forceful storytelling and pungent insight. FREAKONOMICS reminds us all that economics is, at root, the study of incentiveshow people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. Among the questions it answers: Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? If drug dealers make so much money, why do they still live with their mothers? What makes a perfect parent? And, of course: What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? (Answer: they both cheat.)

評分這本書曾經高居Amazon排行榜,而且,他從英文翻譯成中文,也是速度比較快的。我在豆瓣的第一個好友Windrose早早就為此書寫過一篇書評,感興趣的可以去參考。 既然已經不是時髦閱讀物,現在來補寫書評,我就勉為其難的語齣驚人一迴。 很多推介這本書的人,都介紹到作者講瞭6...
評分可彆看到“經濟學”三個字就望而卻步。這實在是一本相當有趣的讀物。 正如副標題“解釋隱藏在錶象之下的真實世界”,此書的目的便是用經濟學的分析方法去解釋一些在我們平常看來和經濟無關的事情。看看書的目錄你便明白這一點瞭,“學校老師跟相撲運動員之間有何共同之處”...

評分很多經典的經濟學的前提假設,都把人看成是完全理性,然後依據此假設,建立許多的數學模型。 當然經過長期的數據積纍是可以看齣未來趨勢,但是所有的經濟現象都是依據人的行為來完成,而人所完成的行為總是依據個人的動機來進行自己的行動。 博弈論是經濟學界正式把人的微觀動...
