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.
书不错,就是里面的专家导读太倒胃口,完全没有用,出版社用来凑字的吧。。。 这都是什么专家写的啊,疑惑
评分人类是一个自负的物种,他们中的医生不爱在进行手术前洗手(注意,这是在巴斯德业已发现病菌是感染的元凶之后)、他们认为安全带使用起来十分麻烦(而且这还是在无礼地质疑司机的技术)、他们还觉得自己一定能够打败庄家或者市场(实际上真的能做到的人用半只手都数的...
评分记得之前写过一篇关于发生关系的文章,写的是《魔鬼经济学》这本书,不过当时写的不怎么尽兴,因为这本书是在翻译的太词不达意了,当然也可能是作者自身的思维错乱的问题。最近这书的作者又出了一本叫做《超爆魔鬼经济学》的书,应该可以被视为上一本书的续集(说它是续...
评分统计学应用之广,实用性之强不可否认,但不知从何时开始,统计学却演变成了造假的工具,混淆视听,害人不浅。本书的作者天生就是统计学的高手,运用统计学的和经济分析的方法为我们揭示了一个真实的世界,告诉每一位读者现实背后的真实原因!我们应该庆幸,作者没有凭借他的才...

没有第一本好,但也许是因为第一本是第一本的缘故,精神和思考方式是一致的。
评分你说我有多蛋疼,最近
评分没有freakonomics好看...
评分还是很娱乐,只不过5年后再看已经太浅了。
评分不要相信直觉,相信数字
