Economics is not widely considered to be one of the sexier sciences. The annual Nobel Prize winner in that field never receives as much publicity as his or her compatriots in peace, literature, or physics. But if such slights are based on the notion that economics is dull, or that economists are concerned only with finance itself, Steven D. Levitt will change some minds. In Freakonomics (written with Stephen J. Dubner), Levitt argues that many apparent mysteries of everyday life don't need to be so mysterious: they could be illuminated and made even more fascinating by asking the right questions and drawing connections. For example, Levitt traces the drop in violent crime rates to a drop in violent criminals and, digging further, to the Roe v. Wade decision that preempted the existence of some people who would be born to poverty and hardship. Elsewhere, by analyzing data gathered from inner-city Chicago drug-dealing gangs, Levitt outlines a corporate structure much like McDonald's, where the top bosses make great money while scores of underlings make something below minimum wage. And in a section that may alarm or relieve worried parents, Levitt argues that parenting methods don't really matter much and that a backyard swimming pool is much more dangerous than a gun. These enlightening chapters are separated by effusive passages from Dubner's 2003 profile of Levitt in The New York Times Magazine, which led to the book being written. In a book filled with bold logic, such back-patting veers Freakonomics, however briefly, away from what Levitt actually has to say. Although maybe there's a good economic reason for that too, and we're just not getting it yet. --John Moe
非常推荐这本书, 最近利用在地铁以及厕所时间在读. 读这本书的过程是极其愉快的,总可以打破自己很多习以为常,默认的观念,这本书让我想起来了另外一本书 ,outliers,都是在对我们很多习惯的观念进行分析与思考,结果是会让我们发现,实际上多少约定俗成的观念实际上是错...
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...
评分我是一个经济学盲。 因为我是一个经济学盲,所以对于这本号称能够“敲破你脑袋”的书产生了兴趣。不夸张的说,这是我读的第一本和经济沾边的书,可是它并没有像承诺的那样,敲破我的脑袋,或者“彻底改变”我“看世界的角度”。事实上,我根本没觉得自己看世界的方式因为这本...
评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。 ...
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...
很有趣的书,提供很多新的角度去思考问题。作者很牛。但是讲的有点罗嗦。
评分大一的经济课读物
评分interesting read. mind opening, yet could be better...I sort of got 80% of the points in the first chapter and then had to read the whole thing just to do it again, with more detailed stories added.
评分大部分是2005年左右的文章,现在读来觉得有些过时。
评分好浅显的道理们啊……
