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

李华芳:经济学与侦探术——评《魔鬼经济学》 假设一个人被蛇咬了,然后死了,你会得出什么结论?不懂侦探术的普通人就下一个结论,他被蛇咬死了。不过对于犯罪实验室 的家伙们来说,需要有证据说明蛇是毒蛇,死者血液里有毒素,才能证明他被蛇咬死了。也就是说,要解剖尸体才...
評分读完了《魔鬼经济学》。虽说相对于它的名声,确给人盛名之下,其实难符之感,不过我还是认为,至少它是部值得一读的书。“从根本上改变你看待这个世界的方式”,牛皮吹得大了些,但“揭示隐藏在表象之下的真实世界”,却是基本上名符其实的。 首先,我并没有将它作为一部纯正...
評分昨天晚上开始读。因为昨晚没睡好,今天没精力做正事,下午索性把它读完,总共花了4小时的样子。 这本书是10年前的畅销书,在我书架上呆了也有七八年了。因为想找本易读又能启发思路的书才把它找了出来。 书总的来说还是很有趣。Levitt确实很有创造力,对常见的问题能够找到很...

評分Freakonomics已经在纽约时报畅销书排行榜上待了46周。这本书现在也有了中文简体版,译名是《魔鬼经济学》。从原书名看,freakonomics=freak+economics,是作者自创的一个词汇,意思大概就是用economics的方法来研究一些 freak的现象,或者也可以理解成freak研究的经济学,因此...
