With his witty and instructive book The Armchair Economist, Steven Landsburg won popularity and acclaim by using economics to illuminate the mysteries of daily life, and using daily life to illuminate the mysteries of economics.
Now Landsburg returns to address fundamental issues like fairness, tolerance, morality and justice—issues that are as important on the playground as they are in the marketplace. With the help of his daughter, Cayley, he contrasts the wisdom of parents with the wisdom of economists—not always to the credit of the latter.
How should we feel about taxes that redistribute income? Ask how parents feel about children who forcibly "redistribute" other children's toys. How should we respond to those who complain that their neighbors are too wealthy? Ask how parents respond when children complain that their siblings got too much cake. By insisting that fairness can't mean one thing for children and another for adults, Landsburg shows that the instincts of the parent have profound consequences for economic justice.
Along the way, Landsburg—with his customary sharp wit and challenging logic—pauses to reflect on an astonishing variety of issues in economic theory, the philosophy of parenting, the true nature of family values, and how to get the most out of life. He uses parent-child interactions to explain the economics of free trade and immigration, progressive taxation, minimum wages, racial discrimination, and the role of money. He makes the best possible philosophical cases for and against progressive taxation, and weighs them against the wisdom of the playground. He explains why children are a good thing, and why economic theory tells us we don't have enough of them. He meditates on the role of authority in our lives, the effects of cultural bias, and why it's important to read poetry to your children. This lively and entertaining book will inform and delight readers who have forgotten the human side of the dismal science.

爸爸和女儿玩闹累了,高兴得躺在地板上。爸爸对女儿说“以后你长大了,如果那个人不能和你共享如此欢乐,请不要和他在一起。”女儿答应下。 里面没有很难懂的经济学原理,晦涩的计算。只是生活~~~~对生活的态度,时下政治对生活的影响,很浅显的理财观念,甚至有...
評分觉得作者对感情,还有社会因素的价值衡量偏低,人不仅是个人,也是一种社会性的生物,建议读这本书的时候,再补读《心灵地图》,《成熟的爱》等心理学丛书。
評分陆陆续续花了一星期左右看了这本书---《一个经济学家给女儿的忠告》,获益匪浅。书中的经济学家在某些章节中感觉有些激动,不过好久没看到这么有活力的文章了。尤其是作者家中的5岁的孩子竟然会这么成熟。。。 书中提倡了一种怀疑的精神,并不是别人告诉你是怎么样,怎么做,你...
評分本书作者给我的印象就是一个由头到尾絮絮叨叨教人怀疑和分析的学者,有点儿象苏格拉底的类型。其实真正称得上学者的人,都是特立独思的人,都是怀疑先行的人,以这样的原则去教儿女,恐怕不是中国的教育文化所能容受得了的。这本书真正的书名What your child can teach you abo...
