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.
在我看来第一章是最精彩的,以经济学的方法科学论证了禁欲教育所带来的出乎意料的糟糕效果,事情的真相常常事与愿违,后文中还指出了环保教育也可能陷入类似的误区。顺带嘲讽了宗教保守主义,毕竟宗教的本质是不断召唤过去来支持现在的合法性。其他章节也多有精彩的内容,其核...
评分正好在图书馆看到有这书,所以就借了,放那里一直没顾上看,因为手头的书太多,后来发现手里的书不够周转,因为限额是5本,要借其他书先得还掉手里的,如果一眼没看就还,有点亏,所以就抓紧时间看看。 以前曾经看过秋叶写的书评,所以好奇,不明白为什么性越多还有且于防治艾...
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。
评分因为自己是学经济学的,或多或少有着一定的经济学思维,平日里也喜欢用这种思维方式来思考一些问题,所以对于兰兹伯格的这本书,我个人是比较欣赏的。欣赏的理由,或许用以下这句话描述是最合适的:“兰兹伯格大胆前卫地向我们揭示了一个道理,洞悉经济学常识,改变我们对待日...
评分老熊推荐,小样荐购,图文借的。 哈佛大学教授迈克尔•克雷默预计,如果英国每年新增性伙伴少于2.25个的男男女女能够开放一些的话,英国艾滋病的传播速度就会降低。这就意味着年龄介于18至45岁的英国人中,有四分之三的人性取向不够开放。(P6) 英国人都很保守? 对不起,...
