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.
《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...
评分书不错,就是里面的专家导读太倒胃口,完全没有用,出版社用来凑字的吧。。。 这都是什么专家写的啊,疑惑
评分想当年,Freaknomics横空出世,两位青年才俊一举成名,仰慕者包括我这样的俗人,很被那些稀奇古怪的研究想法折服,觉得这才是不脱离群众的、学以致用的经济学。。。 当Super Freaknomics再来,点子还是一样的新颖,只是当初的惊喜已然不再,读下来文笔也嫌拖沓,罗里吧嗦地半...
评分好喜欢《魔鬼经济学》,一直期待作者出续集。直到前几个月在静雅思听到这本书的音频,才知道作者出了新书,2010年4月版,奇怪这书怎么没什么宣传?看完才知道,书实在有些恶,专家推荐,专家导读,读者热评,过度营销了。上豆瓣,没多少人读过,竟然还有N多书托,哎,一塌糊涂...
评分“一些专家认为人类正处在一个新的,恶化了的全球气候模式的边缘,而且没有准备好怎么应对… 气候变化是对全世界人的威胁”。– 《纽约时报》 “气候变化将强迫调整世界范围内的经济和社会活动… 气候学家对政治家们是否有能力应对气候变化,哪怕仅仅是减轻其影响,持悲观的...
不错的,就是故事稍微轻了点儿
评分the 5 star is purely for the first chapter on prostitute!
评分Highly recommended for anyone interested in economics or who believe that economics is total crap.
评分升级版本的升级版
评分前半部分比较精彩~
