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>

评分用晚上三个小时的时间,看完了现在比较流行的一本书Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everthing (Steven Levitt & Stephen Dubner, 2006)的中译本(刘祥亚译,广东经济出版社)。 其实很早自己就有了这本书的英文原版,看了一半,觉得很好玩,所...
评分非常推荐这本书, 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...
