Steven D. Levitt is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and the recipient of the John Bates Clark medal, awarded to the most influential economist under the age of forty.
The New York Times best-selling Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation, selling over four million copies in thirty-five languages and changing the way we look at the world. Now, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with SuperFreakonomics, and fans and newcomers alike will find that the freakquel is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first. Four years in the making, SuperFreakonomics asks not only the tough questions, but the unexpected ones: What's more dangerous, driving drunk or walking drunk? Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective? Can a sex change boost your salary? SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions as: How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa? Why are doctors so bad at washing their hands? How much good do car seats do? What's the best way to catch a terrorist? Did TV cause a rise in crime? What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? Are people hard-wired for altruism or selfishness? Can eating kangaroo save the planet? Which adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor? Levitt and Dubner mix smart thinking and great storytelling like no one else, whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically. By examining how people respond to incentives, they show the world for what it really is – good, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, super freaky. Freakonomics has been imitated many times over – but only now, with SuperFreakonomics, has it met its match.
《超爆魔鬼经济学》这本书似乎讲的不是严格意义上的经济学,而是属于“经济分析”,很多似乎看上去和经济学没有关系的事情,原来居然是可以用经济学来解释的。导致大多数男女薪水差异的主要原因在于:女性追求高薪的愿望不足?为什么世界上大部分顶级运动员都出生在1月-3...
评分好喜欢《魔鬼经济学》,一直期待作者出续集。直到前几个月在静雅思听到这本书的音频,才知道作者出了新书,2010年4月版,奇怪这书怎么没什么宣传?看完才知道,书实在有些恶,专家推荐,专家导读,读者热评,过度营销了。上豆瓣,没多少人读过,竟然还有N多书托,哎,一塌糊涂...
评分曾经听过一个段子,大意是说爱因斯坦同志在天堂和几个人聊天,大科学家问他们的智商是多少,其中一个人说他的智商是160,爱因斯坦说那你可以和我谈相对论,另一个人说他的智商是80,爱因斯坦则说那你可以和我谈经济学。 从这个段子就可以看出经济学家有多不受待见。在相当长的...
评分书是2012年买的,2016年5月才抽出时间看。可见老婆让我少买书从某种程度上是对的,买的没有及时看;与此相对,她说的也是不对的,本书没有再次加印,如果我当时没买,现在看到它的机会也会少很多。看,这就是有更多角度思考问题带来的不同视角,我认为书里讲的就是这个问题。案...
评分“一些专家认为人类正处在一个新的,恶化了的全球气候模式的边缘,而且没有准备好怎么应对… 气候变化是对全世界人的威胁”。– 《纽约时报》 “气候变化将强迫调整世界范围内的经济和社会活动… 气候学家对政治家们是否有能力应对气候变化,哪怕仅仅是减轻其影响,持悲观的...
Curiosity satiated.
评分sort of incoherent from here to there..but LOL these two guys are probably the funniest academics
评分其实还是和前一本一样精彩,但是也正如所有的续集,没了新意.猴子有了经济头脑第一件事居然就是买春...还有就是妓女毒贩恐怖分子全球变暖这样的问题...读一读还是不错的~
评分非常有趣的行为经济学。如果不确定是不是感兴趣,可以先读一读后记。
评分还是很娱乐,只不过5年后再看已经太浅了。
