“Life often seems to defy logic. When a prostitute agrees to unprotected sex, or a teenage criminal embarks on a burglary, or a smoker lights another cigarette, we seem to be a million miles from what we would call rational behaviour. None of this makes sense – or does it? Tim Harford thinks it does. And by weaving stories from locations as diverse as a Las Vegas casino and a Soho speed-date together with insights from an ingenious new breed of economist, he aims to persuade you that we are all, in fact, surprisingly logical. Reading this book, you’ll discover that the unlikeliest of people – racists, drug addicts, revolutionaries and rats – comply with economic logic, always taking account of future costs and benefits, even if they don’t quite realise it. It even explains why your boss is overpaid…”
Tim Harford一再强调理性的分析社会问题,认为大部分看起来荒唐的事情背后都有理性的判断和科学的解释。比如在戒烟难的问题上,他解释说大脑中有一个相当动物性的部位,它会鼓励人做出能使自己马上获得愉悦的不理性选择。比如说马上点起香烟从而获得身体的愉悦而放弃吸烟有害健...
评分毕竟是个很年轻的经济学作者,论点、论据、思路都谈不上明确有力,更不能达到深入浅出,姑且看之。 不过作者一直以经济学家自居的口吻,让我想起一句话:像经济学家一样思考。世界不是公平的,它仅仅是符合逻辑的,用理性分析的方法思考周围的一切,这也算是不差的看待世界的眼...
评分The Logic of Life: The Rational Economics of an Irrational World by Tim Harford ($25, Random House, 2008). Even if you found Thomas L. Friedman's The World Is Flat a smidge, um, one-dimensional, there's something to be said for keeping it simple. The preco...
评分作者用经济学视角看世界,尝试解答一些有趣的问题,有些解答还挺有意思。比如说老板收入比员工高出很多倍,这可以激励员工去努力啊。 至少有一半内容是跟博弈论相关的。 至少有一半的解答是作者的推理分析。少数的解答引用了实验数据或其他人的论文。 内容还算有趣,不过书还是...
评分太有趣了,前几天女同事们还在感叹怎么身边嫁不出去的姑娘总比光棍男生多?这下我知道了,还真玄妙呀!原来美国也是这样的,曼哈顿永远驻留一批待嫁女,她们的想法还真实际。有空看看这书吧,很好。真是答疑解惑。

评分作者是个很自我中心的人,说不定还是个隐形racist,这本书越读越郁闷,vegas那段还不错,但intro和后来的几章把学术放在了一遍,讲开自己的各种重复见解...
评分文笔很好,但是sex和crime不是我的菜
评分读书和与人相处一样,有的读起来就是感觉畅快舒适,有的,比如这本,就坑坑洼洼,感觉很不平稳。内容还行。
