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...

評分專業名詞不多,內容比較輕鬆
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?
