Economics is no longer the "dismal science" dreaded by college freshmen. In recent years, a band of economists has broken away from the charts and graphs of college textbooks, and begun to explain ordinary behavior in plain and often entertaining English. Steve Landsburg was one of the first of the new breed, in his book The Armchair Economist and long-running "Everyday Economics" column in Slate magazine. Now he is back, and more provocative than ever. In More Sex is Safer Sex , Landsburg shows how the rational behavior of each one of us -- when combined together -- produces the often bizarre, seemingly irrational behavior of crowds. We all stand up at the ballpark, so none of us can see. We avoid casual sex, from fear of disease, and we thereby make sex more dangerous. Things really get interesting when Landsburg suggests ways to change the rules, and game the system. Why not charge juries if a convicted felon is exonerated? Why not have each member of Congress represent a national subset of voters, chosen alphabetically? Why not solve the ""overpopulation"" problem by having more children, who will help think of ways to improve our use of resources? More Sex is Safer Sex will make you laugh and argue -- and it will make you think about the world around you in new and unforgettable ways.

評分值得一看,不过也别太当真。 这是一本通俗经济学的读本,对很多传统或者说保守的观点,从经济学的角度提出了挑战,促人深思。可以被我列入读后增长智慧的书。 但也仅此而已,千万不要把它当成一本严肃的经济学著作。

評分后现代还存在幸生活保守的人,这大概是以前历次思想解放后残余下来的顽固分子,这本书大概是为了彻底将他们铲除,理由是:幸开放可以延缓艾滋病的传播! 作者很天真的认为,一个幸保守的人多与其他人交媾几次,那么至少带来2方面的好处:1. 被交媾的人感染艾滋病的机会降低;2...
