Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? How did the legalization of abortion affect the rate of violent crime? These may not sound like typical questions for an econo-mist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the riddles of everyday life—from cheating and crime to sports and child-rearing—and whose conclusions turn conventional wisdom on its head. Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. They usually begin with a mountain of data and a simple question. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: freakonomics. Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives—how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics , they explore the hidden side of . . . well, everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The truth about real-estate agents. The myths of campaign finance. The telltale marks of a cheating schoolteacher. The secrets of the Klu Klux Klan. What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world, despite a great deal of complexity and downright deceit, is not impenetrable, is not unknowable, and—if the right questions are asked—is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Freakonomics establishes this unconventional premise: If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then economics represents how it actually does work. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with enough riddles and stories to last a thousand cocktail parties. But Freakonomics can provide more than that. It will literally redefine the way we view the modern world.

魔由心生 人的动机决定了人的选择。 几年前,一个很久以前辞职的同事找到我,商量大家一起创业。刚好他手上有一笔业务,做完后,可用做启动的资金。开始大家都构想得很好,项目进展得很顺利,客户的款也付得爽快。终于有时间大家坐下来,讨论一些关于新公司的问题...
评分经济学是个非常骗人的东西。 如果你是经济学科班,大学里第一门专业课应该是经济学原理,你发现这门课里充满了简单有趣却对你思维产生革命意义的天才智慧,于是你对你将来的学习充满了憧憬和希望。 可是快乐的时光总是短暂的,在这第一门专业课结束之后,你突然发现好日子走到...
评分很多经典的经济学的前提假设,都把人看成是完全理性,然后依据此假设,建立许多的数学模型。 当然经过长期的数据积累是可以看出未来趋势,但是所有的经济现象都是依据人的行为来完成,而人所完成的行为总是依据个人的动机来进行自己的行动。 博弈论是经济学界正式把人的微观动...
评分Freakonomics已经在纽约时报畅销书排行榜上待了46周。这本书现在也有了中文简体版,译名是《魔鬼经济学》。从原书名看,freakonomics=freak+economics,是作者自创的一个词汇,意思大概就是用economics的方法来研究一些 freak的现象,或者也可以理解成freak研究的经济学,因此...
评分看教育技术的趋势,去看纽约时报的畅销书排行榜最好。果然,今年的Blackboard(含被兼并的WebCT)用户会议上,主旨发言者是《魔鬼经济学》(Freakonomics)作者之一芝加哥大学经济教授Steven D. Levitt。我不是很肯定他的话题和远程教育有何相关,只是其生猛程度,和三闾大学欢...
