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.
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...
评分人会解决问题,更多的人会解决更多的问题。(问题是,人还会制造问题……) P24 "如果人均收入是衡量幸福的唯一标准的话,那么一头猪的降生算算得上是一种福祉,而一个孩子的降生只能说是一种梦魇了”。 ——Peter bauer(Peter Thomas Bauer, Baron Bauer (1915 - May 2, 2002)...
评分more sex is safer sex,作者翻译成性越多越安全,还是很到位的,而不是像我标题翻译的那样生硬。 这本书就是第一个章节,more sex is safer sex, 最有意思,用来泡MM,简直能把人说晕了。一夜情在他笔下也变成了正当的、有益于社会的事情。 其他章节一般。
评分1.兰兹伯格:购物车越大,房子越大,储物柜、冰箱越大,人们的购买欲越强。(于是浪费也越多咯。) 2.哈佛教授迈克尔·克雷默:如果性生活方面比较保守的人开放一点,就能减缓艾滋病的传播速度,因为他们的出现能提高人们找到安全性伴侣的概率(而不是去找那些风流成性身落性...
评分这本书最重要的价值在于启发人从不同角度思考问题,尤其是“像经济学家那样思考”。在求解一个问题的过程中,演绎式思维只是很小的一部分,主要用于“像专家一样实践”。而要做到“像外行一样思考”(这两句话出自金出武雄的《像外行一样思考,像专家一样实践》),则需要归纳...
