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.
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...
评分看别人对此书的评论,大多是赞誉有加,我却无从下笔。直观的感觉是例证和论述都颇为繁冗啰嗦,缺少洞见。即使有新颖的意见,也被淹没在口水中。 作者所谓反常识的论述,其实大多逃不开经典经济学的理论约束。至于用“反常识”的标签来吸引眼球,其实只是一个噱头,因为经济学...
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...
