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? What kind of impact did Roe v. Wade have on violent crime?</p>
These may not sound like typical questions for an economist 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 regularly turn the conventional wisdom on its head. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: Freakonomics.</p>
Levitt and co-author Stephen J. 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 set out to explore the hidden side of ... well, everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The truth about real-estate agents. The secrets of the Ku Klux Klan.</p>
What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Steven Levitt, through devilishly clever and clear-eyed thinking, shows how to see through all the clutter.</p>

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...
评分假设一个人被蛇咬了,然后死了,你会得出什么结论?不懂侦探术的普通人就下一个结论,他被蛇咬死了。不过对于犯罪实验室 的家伙们来说,需要有证据说明蛇是毒蛇,死者血液里有毒素,才能证明他被蛇咬死了。也就是说,要解剖尸体才知道真相。尸体,就是证据。会遇到多种情况,比...
