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.)

看教育技術的趨勢,去看紐約時報的暢銷書排行榜最好。果然,今年的Blackboard(含被兼並的WebCT)用戶會議上,主旨發言者是《魔鬼經濟學》(Freakonomics)作者之一芝加哥大學經濟教授Steven D. Levitt。我不是很肯定他的話題和遠程教育有何相關,隻是其生猛程度,和三閭大學歡...
評分讀完瞭《魔鬼經濟學》。雖說相對於它的名聲,確給人盛名之下,其實難符之感,不過我還是認為,至少它是部值得一讀的書。“從根本上改變你看待這個世界的方式”,牛皮吹得大瞭些,但“揭示隱藏在錶象之下的真實世界”,卻是基本上名符其實的。 首先,我並沒有將它作為一部純正...
評分經濟學是個非常騙人的東西。 如果你是經濟學科班,大學裏第一門專業課應該是經濟學原理,你發現這門課裏充滿瞭簡單有趣卻對你思維産生革命意義的天纔智慧,於是你對你將來的學習充滿瞭憧憬和希望。 可是快樂的時光總是短暫的,在這第一門專業課結束之後,你突然發現好日子走到...

"People respond to incentives, although not necessarily in ways that are predictable or manifest."
評分"Morality, it could be argued, represents the way that people would like the world to work — whereas economics represents how it actually does work."
評分看瞭,英文版。的確通俗,的確有趣。不過實在是太不靠譜,請問每一個chapter的主題是什麼?隨便抓兩個東西就開始扯。。的確是一種新穎的思維方式,可是關經濟什麼事?還是我對這本書期望值太高瞭?
