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.
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 评分我是在豆瓣上看到这本书的,感觉挺有意思,于是去淘宝上买了正版书籍阅读,最终用了一星期的时间读完。 拿到手,验了货,确实是正版书籍。本书我之所以给出4星的评价,是因为本书的印刷错误(包括错别字、标点错误、空格错误、多字少字及其他错误)共计174处(不完...
评分All about incentive - a controversial though very, very enjoyable reader. Despite few positive reviews, I still adore Steve much - not the other author of course. The zigzag and sarcastic way of writing also intrigues me, especially the epilogue about monkeys under the influence of money. The "Variable X" riddle in the chapter on identifying terrorists makes me itch too.
