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.
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...

评分近些年出版界里魔鬼频出:《魔鬼辞典》、《魔鬼投资学》、《魔鬼管理学》、《魔鬼成语》、《魔鬼英语学习法》......仿佛这个世界已经“不疯魔不成活”,这本《超爆魔鬼经济学》甚至还噱头十足地在魔鬼前面加上了“超爆”两字,按宣传语的说法,是要“敲破、敲爆”你的脑袋,真...
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...

评分前半部分比较精彩~

评分这本写得蛮不错的。好多这方面的书都只说到经济学里边理性选择的部分,但这本还讲到了非理性的部分。特别是念经济,念过行为经济学/金融学(Behavioral Finance),看着就会比较有趣咯。关于全球变暖的一章也很有启发性。
