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.

评分The Logic of Life: The Rational Economics of an Irrational World by Tim Harford ($25, Random House, 2008). Even if you found Thomas L. Friedman's The World Is Flat a smidge, um, one-dimensional, there's something to be said for keeping it simple. The preco...
评分 评分说句实话，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，...
