Economics is no longer the "dismal science" dreaded by college freshmen. In recent years, a band of economists has broken away from the charts and graphs of college textbooks, and begun to explain ordinary behavior in plain and often entertaining English. Steve Landsburg was one of the first of the new breed, in his book The Armchair Economist and long-running "Everyday Economics" column in Slate magazine. Now he is back, and more provocative than ever. In More Sex is Safer Sex , Landsburg shows how the rational behavior of each one of us -- when combined together -- produces the often bizarre, seemingly irrational behavior of crowds. We all stand up at the ballpark, so none of us can see. We avoid casual sex, from fear of disease, and we thereby make sex more dangerous. Things really get interesting when Landsburg suggests ways to change the rules, and game the system. Why not charge juries if a convicted felon is exonerated? Why not have each member of Congress represent a national subset of voters, chosen alphabetically? Why not solve the ""overpopulation"" problem by having more children, who will help think of ways to improve our use of resources? More Sex is Safer Sex will make you laugh and argue -- and it will make you think about the world around you in new and unforgettable ways.

評分此书很黄很暴力——评《性越多越安全》 【读品】http://www.douban.com/group/dp/ 李华芳 商用请联系:welfarelee@gmail.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “性,血汗工厂,童工”,这三个词语出现在一本书中,会给你...
評分在我看来第一章是最精彩的,以经济学的方法科学论证了禁欲教育所带来的出乎意料的糟糕效果,事情的真相常常事与愿违,后文中还指出了环保教育也可能陷入类似的误区。顺带嘲讽了宗教保守主义,毕竟宗教的本质是不断召唤过去来支持现在的合法性。其他章节也多有精彩的内容,其核...
評分值得一看,不过也别太当真。 这是一本通俗经济学的读本,对很多传统或者说保守的观点,从经济学的角度提出了挑战,促人深思。可以被我列入读后增长智慧的书。 但也仅此而已,千万不要把它当成一本严肃的经济学著作。
評分因为自己是学经济学的,或多或少有着一定的经济学思维,平日里也喜欢用这种思维方式来思考一些问题,所以对于兰兹伯格的这本书,我个人是比较欣赏的。欣赏的理由,或许用以下这句话描述是最合适的:“兰兹伯格大胆前卫地向我们揭示了一个道理,洞悉经济学常识,改变我们对待日...
