Economics is not widely considered to be one of the sexier sciences. The annual Nobel Prize winner in that field never receives as much publicity as his or her compatriots in peace, literature, or physics. But if such slights are based on the notion that economics is dull, or that economists are concerned only with finance itself, Steven D. Levitt will change some minds. In Freakonomics (written with Stephen J. Dubner), Levitt argues that many apparent mysteries of everyday life don't need to be so mysterious: they could be illuminated and made even more fascinating by asking the right questions and drawing connections. For example, Levitt traces the drop in violent crime rates to a drop in violent criminals and, digging further, to the Roe v. Wade decision that preempted the existence of some people who would be born to poverty and hardship. Elsewhere, by analyzing data gathered from inner-city Chicago drug-dealing gangs, Levitt outlines a corporate structure much like McDonald's, where the top bosses make great money while scores of underlings make something below minimum wage. And in a section that may alarm or relieve worried parents, Levitt argues that parenting methods don't really matter much and that a backyard swimming pool is much more dangerous than a gun. These enlightening chapters are separated by effusive passages from Dubner's 2003 profile of Levitt in The New York Times Magazine, which led to the book being written. In a book filled with bold logic, such back-patting veers Freakonomics, however briefly, away from what Levitt actually has to say. Although maybe there's a good economic reason for that too, and we're just not getting it yet. --John Moe
可别看到“经济学”三个字就望而却步。这实在是一本相当有趣的读物。 正如副标题“解释隐藏在表象之下的真实世界”,此书的目的便是用经济学的分析方法去解释一些在我们平常看来和经济无关的事情。看看书的目录你便明白这一点了,“学校老师跟相扑运动员之间有何共同之处”...

评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...
