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.
为甚么我们总是一窝蜂去读畅销书?容我大段引述梁文道的解释,它至少不会比大部分畅销书更冗长: 「一本书不能有太多创见,以致于过度违背常识,才看几页就受不了。但是它却要显得有点智慧,将读者都明白甚至认同的道理用很聪明的方法包装一下,使得读者感到有那么一点...
评分值得一看,不过也别太当真。 这是一本通俗经济学的读本,对很多传统或者说保守的观点,从经济学的角度提出了挑战,促人深思。可以被我列入读后增长智慧的书。 但也仅此而已,千万不要把它当成一本严肃的经济学著作。
评分我并不是说自己是封建礼教的卫道士,而是实在是逻辑有问题 如果一个人原先性保守,洁身自好,突然去外面乱搞了,确实是扩充了这个群体的基数,也使得一部分原先可能和得艾滋病的人乱搞的人和这个人搞了,使得这一部分人不患艾滋,但这首先就有一个逻辑漏洞,就是 那个得艾滋的...
评分饱吹饿唱…… 中国人尤其北京人是爱胡扯的,或者叫做,侃大山。 看完了这本书我发现,这个美国鬼子也爱胡扯,简称鬼扯…… 奇妙的在于,他懂经济学,而且懂得比一般人多 所以,出现了钱来衡量人命,用成本收益来探讨呼吸机保险。 椎名高志画了一个四格,一个富翁对美女说...
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...
