In the summer of 2003, the New York Times Magazine sent Stephen J. Dubner, an author and journalist, to write a profile of Steven D. Levitt, a heralded young economist at the University of Chicago. Levitt was not remotely interested in the things that interest most economists. More...
Instead, he studied the riddles of everyday lifefrom cheating to crime to child-rearingand his conclusions turned the conventional wisdom on its head. For instance, he argued that one of the main causes of the crime drop of the 1990s was the legalization of abortion twenty years earlier. (Unwanted children have a greater likelihood of becoming criminals; with so many unwanted children being aborted in the 1970s, the pool of potential criminals had significantly shrunk by the 1990s.) The Times article yielded an unprecedented response, a deluge of interest from thousands of curious, inspired, and occasionally distraught readers. Levitt and Dubner collaborated on a book that gives full play to Levitts most compelling ideas. Through forceful storytelling and pungent insight. FREAKONOMICS reminds us all that economics is, at root, the study of incentiveshow people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. Among the questions it answers: Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? If drug dealers make so much money, why do they still live with their mothers? What makes a perfect parent? And, of course: What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? (Answer: they both cheat.)
正在看这本书,名字就很有点儿哗众取宠。 第1章第1页就碰到这么一句话:“从根本上来说,经济学就是研究人的动机”,看的一头雾水:经济学观察并解释人的行为,即使算上应用了基本心理学观点的行为经济学,啥时候经济学从根本上就是研究人的动机了?看到第2页所谓的具体动机,...

評分这本书曾经高居Amazon排行榜,而且,他从英文翻译成中文,也是速度比较快的。我在豆瓣的第一个好友Windrose早早就为此书写过一篇书评,感兴趣的可以去参考。 既然已经不是时髦阅读物,现在来补写书评,我就勉为其难的语出惊人一回。 很多推介这本书的人,都介绍到作者讲了6...
評分我是一个经济学盲。 因为我是一个经济学盲,所以对于这本号称能够“敲破你脑袋”的书产生了兴趣。不夸张的说,这是我读的第一本和经济沾边的书,可是它并没有像承诺的那样,敲破我的脑袋,或者“彻底改变”我“看世界的角度”。事实上,我根本没觉得自己看世界的方式因为这本...
"People respond to incentives, although not necessarily in ways that are predictable or manifest."
评分"Morality, it could be argued, represents the way that people would like the world to work — whereas economics represents how it actually does work."
评分My friends told me that there are lots of dataset included in this book. Controversial but fun.
评分"People respond to incentives, although not necessarily in ways that are predictable or manifest."
