具体描述
Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? What kind of impact did Roe v. Wade have on violent crime?</p>
These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the riddles of everyday life -- from cheating and crime to sports and child rearing -- and whose conclusions regularly turn the conventional wisdom on its head. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: Freakonomics.</p>
Levitt and co-author Stephen J. Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives -- how people get what they want or need especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they set out to explore the hidden side of ... well, everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The truth about real-estate agents. The secrets of the Ku Klux Klan.</p>
What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Steven Levitt, through devilishly clever and clear-eyed thinking, shows how to see through all the clutter.</p>

读后感
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...
评分 评分这本书曾经高居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...
评分用晚上三个小时的时间，看完了现在比较流行的一本书Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everthing (Steven Levitt & Stephen Dubner, 2006)的中译本（刘祥亚译，广东经济出版社）。 其实很早自己就有了这本书的英文原版，看了一半，觉得很好玩，所...
