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.
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《性越多越安全》往畅销的方向偏离得太多了。其他不说,光这个标题就得让人绕不少弯子。不过,如果领会了作者的意图,你将会明白,整本书几乎所有案例都是以宏观阐述为基调(不知道这是不是宏观经济学的概念),所谓的性越多越安全,并非针对个体,而是某个人群的行为对全社会...
評分0 先说点儿题外话,想节约时间的朋友可以跳过本部分,直接读第2和第4部分。 1 书还没有读完,我就迫不及待地给《性越多越安全》一个力荐。这跟我个人对书的偏好有关,我喜欢读书,也总是能从书中得到许多自己需要得到的东西。因此,我对大部分的书及其作者都...
評分后现代还存在幸生活保守的人,这大概是以前历次思想解放后残余下来的顽固分子,这本书大概是为了彻底将他们铲除,理由是:幸开放可以延缓艾滋病的传播! 作者很天真的认为,一个幸保守的人多与其他人交媾几次,那么至少带来2方面的好处:1. 被交媾的人感染艾滋病的机会降低;2...
評分为甚么我们总是一窝蜂去读畅销书?容我大段引述梁文道的解释,它至少不会比大部分畅销书更冗长: 「一本书不能有太多创见,以致于过度违背常识,才看几页就受不了。但是它却要显得有点智慧,将读者都明白甚至认同的道理用很聪明的方法包装一下,使得读者感到有那么一点...
