Book Description
Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool?
What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in coommon?
Why do drug dealers still live with their mums?
How much do parents really matter?
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 stuff and riddles of everyday life - from cheating and crime to sports and child rearing - and whose conclusions regularly turn the conventional wisdom on its head. He usually begins with a mountain of data and a simple, unasked question. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: Freakonomics
From Economist
The book is a delight... It shows what plain old-fashioned economics can do in the hands of a boundlessly curious and superly skilled practitioner...Ingenious.

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...
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...
评分地铁上断断续续把这本书翻完,倒是用了好久的时间。 这书也确实适合这样看,本来章节之间就毫无逻辑可言,玩转的是思维的那灵光一闪,实际说出真相的时候,后续的推理自己就也能完成了。 之前的过多评论都有点过了,好似看完后便开挂一样,经济学的学习模式有了颠覆性影响。 ...
评分非常推荐这本书, 最近利用在地铁以及厕所时间在读. 读这本书的过程是极其愉快的,总可以打破自己很多习以为常,默认的观念,这本书让我想起来了另外一本书 ,outliers,都是在对我们很多习惯的观念进行分析与思考,结果是会让我们发现,实际上多少约定俗成的观念实际上是错...
用浅显的语言介绍了许多经济学知识,如Natural experiment, Self-selection bias等,参考文献也是Top级别的杂志上的,推荐
评分看的英文版,避免了中文翻译的别扭。特别喜欢parenting一章,很有借鉴意义。
评分批判性思维之典范
评分通俗易懂经济学读物,我喜欢堕胎和毒品的那两个案例。 最后后记中的一句话总结的特别好:If morality represent an ideal world, then economics represent the actual world.
评分喜欢关于纽约犯罪率下降的部分
