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.

評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...
評分作者的思路其实还是那么简单,将两件看似毫不相干的事放在一起,由于它们有某种程度上的类似,比如说变化趋势,然后经过一些看似符合常理的分析,使这两件事物发生关系,从而得到看似荒谬,听起来却十分有道理的结论。我不得不承认从某种意义上讲,这的确可以锻炼人的思维,以...
沒有第一集有趣,但是介紹John List有關利他主義研究的一章寫得很好。
评分lmao
评分其實還是和前一本一樣精彩,但是也正如所有的續集,沒瞭新意.猴子有瞭經濟頭腦第一件事居然就是買春...還有就是妓女毒販恐怖分子全球變暖這樣的問題...讀一讀還是不錯的~
评分沒有第一本好,但也許是因為第一本是第一本的緣故,精神和思考方式是一緻的。
评分不要相信直覺,相信數字
