“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…”

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...
評分这一册解释了一些不理性的行为，其实还是理性的行为。 翻译过来的意思，某些现象是有道理的。对一些现象的解释，我很佩服，之前从未如此深入的思考过，一些以前就知道了（如城市的待嫁的姑娘多）。 1。城市生活成本这么高，房价这么高，人还越来越多？因此，城市提供了思维的碰...
評分本来是不会买这本书的，因为这种恶心人的标题和副标题一看就知道没含量...出于是书店老板的推荐就翻了一下介绍和目录，然后才知道书的标题是"The logic of life"，副标题是"Uncoverring the new ecnomics of everything"，实在是和翻译过来的大相径庭，某些出版社为了盈利给书...
評分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...

评分讀書和與人相處一樣，有的讀起來就是感覺暢快舒適，有的，比如這本，就坑坑窪窪，感覺很不平穩。內容還行。
评分文筆很好，但是sex和crime不是我的菜
评分比臥底經濟學好看，最喜歡關於marriage,crime和black people的部分，博弈論部分的難度處理的很友好【笑】
评分對我來說不能帶來太多的新知，看英文又太消耗時間，跳過瞭。
