Steven D. Levitt is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and the recipient of the John Bates Clark medal, awarded to the most influential economist under the age of forty.
The New York Times best-selling Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation, selling over four million copies in thirty-five languages and changing the way we look at the world. Now, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with SuperFreakonomics, and fans and newcomers alike will find that the freakquel is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first. Four years in the making, SuperFreakonomics asks not only the tough questions, but the unexpected ones: What's more dangerous, driving drunk or walking drunk? Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective? Can a sex change boost your salary? SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions as: How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa? Why are doctors so bad at washing their hands? How much good do car seats do? What's the best way to catch a terrorist? Did TV cause a rise in crime? What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? Are people hard-wired for altruism or selfishness? Can eating kangaroo save the planet? Which adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor? Levitt and Dubner mix smart thinking and great storytelling like no one else, whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically. By examining how people respond to incentives, they show the world for what it really is – good, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, super freaky. Freakonomics has been imitated many times over – but only now, with SuperFreakonomics, has it met its match.
作者的思路其实还是那么简单,将两件看似毫不相干的事放在一起,由于它们有某种程度上的类似,比如说变化趋势,然后经过一些看似符合常理的分析,使这两件事物发生关系,从而得到看似荒谬,听起来却十分有道理的结论。我不得不承认从某种意义上讲,这的确可以锻炼人的思维,以...

评分人类是一个自负的物种,他们中的医生不爱在进行手术前洗手(注意,这是在巴斯德业已发现病菌是感染的元凶之后)、他们认为安全带使用起来十分麻烦(而且这还是在无礼地质疑司机的技术)、他们还觉得自己一定能够打败庄家或者市场(实际上真的能做到的人用半只手都数的...
评分《超爆魔鬼经济学》这本书似乎讲的不是严格意义上的经济学,而是属于“经济分析”,很多似乎看上去和经济学没有关系的事情,原来居然是可以用经济学来解释的。导致大多数男女薪水差异的主要原因在于:女性追求高薪的愿望不足?为什么世界上大部分顶级运动员都出生在1月-3...
其实还是和前一本一样精彩,但是也正如所有的续集,没了新意.猴子有了经济头脑第一件事居然就是买春...还有就是妓女毒贩恐怖分子全球变暖这样的问题...读一读还是不错的~

评分最后的猴子实验太欢乐了
评分你说我有多蛋疼,最近
评分没有第一部好,方法论证不全面,但经济学原理依然存在(价格定律);简单是可以解决貌似很难复杂的事情,安全带,手术前要洗手
