THE UNDERCOVER ECONOMIST showed how ordinary economics explained everyday curiosities, such as the price of a cup of coffee and the traffic jam on the way to the supermarket. THE LOGIC OF LIFE shows how the new economics of rational choice theory explains much, much more. Drug addicts and teenage muggers can be rational. Suburban sprawl and inner city decay are rational. Endless meetings at the office and the injustices of working life? Rational. Economics explains why your boss is overpaid, whether we should build more prisons, and whether a city like New Orleans can recover from disaster. THE LOGIC OF LIFE introduces you to engaging stories and characters linked together in a bold narrative sweep. The book starts with the most intimate decisions - to have sex, to take drugs, to lead an honest life - then zooms out to discuss the logic of the family, of neighbourhoods, large corporations, cities themselves. This is the new economics of everything you never thought was economics, and it will help you see the world in a new way.
书中的很多关于历史方面的很有意思,就好像英国的光荣革命,让人有恍然大悟之感.作者态度很严肃,比<卧底经济学>进步了.
評分本来是不会买这本书的,因为这种恶心人的标题和副标题一看就知道没含量...出于是书店老板的推荐就翻了一下介绍和目录,然后才知道书的标题是"The logic of life",副标题是"Uncoverring the new ecnomics of everything",实在是和翻译过来的大相径庭,某些出版社为了盈利给书...
評分太有趣了,前几天女同事们还在感叹怎么身边嫁不出去的姑娘总比光棍男生多?这下我知道了,还真玄妙呀!原来美国也是这样的,曼哈顿永远驻留一批待嫁女,她们的想法还真实际。有空看看这书吧,很好。真是答疑解惑。
評分说句实话,我对经济学家不是很感冒。 他们太自傲,总认为抽丝剥茧就能把世界理解得清清楚楚;他们也太冷酷,历史事件和俗世生活在他们看来无非是人个体在衡量所得所失后做出决定的后果。他们认为,所有人的所有选择都是在做交换:工作,就是用生命交换金钱的一种行为;婚姻,...
評分毕竟是个很年轻的经济学作者,论点、论据、思路都谈不上明确有力,更不能达到深入浅出,姑且看之。 不过作者一直以经济学家自居的口吻,让我想起一句话:像经济学家一样思考。世界不是公平的,它仅仅是符合逻辑的,用理性分析的方法思考周围的一切,这也算是不差的看待世界的眼...
