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.

评分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0 先说点儿题外话,想节约时间的朋友可以跳过本部分,直接读第2和第4部分。 1 书还没有读完,我就迫不及待地给《性越多越安全》一个力荐。这跟我个人对书的偏好有关,我喜欢读书,也总是能从书中得到许多自己需要得到的东西。因此,我对大部分的书及其作者都...
