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.)

"Morality, it could be argued, represents the way that people would like the world to work — whereas economics represents how it actually does work."
評分淺顯的語言, 很耐看
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?
評分"People respond to incentives, although not necessarily in ways that are predictable or manifest."
評分專業名詞不多,內容比較輕鬆
周末,天一直闷着,阴阴的,周六下了一夜的雨。这样的天气躲在家中偷看《魔鬼经济学》 是再惬意不过了。 需要承认,人们很容易从别人的议论中得到暗示,这样,在评价一件事物之前,内心会有些倾向性,但往往这是偏见。这次也不例外,我同时订阅了《弗里德曼的生活经济学》和...
評分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...
評分地铁上断断续续把这本书翻完,倒是用了好久的时间。 这书也确实适合这样看,本来章节之间就毫无逻辑可言,玩转的是思维的那灵光一闪,实际说出真相的时候,后续的推理自己就也能完成了。 之前的过多评论都有点过了,好似看完后便开挂一样,经济学的学习模式有了颠覆性影响。 ...
評分昨天晚上开始读。因为昨晚没睡好,今天没精力做正事,下午索性把它读完,总共花了4小时的样子。 这本书是10年前的畅销书,在我书架上呆了也有七八年了。因为想找本易读又能启发思路的书才把它找了出来。 书总的来说还是很有趣。Levitt确实很有创造力,对常见的问题能够找到很...
評分正在看这本书,名字就很有点儿哗众取宠。 第1章第1页就碰到这么一句话:“从根本上来说,经济学就是研究人的动机”,看的一头雾水:经济学观察并解释人的行为,即使算上应用了基本心理学观点的行为经济学,啥时候经济学从根本上就是研究人的动机了?看到第2页所谓的具体动机,...
