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.
记得之前写过一篇关于发生关系的文章,写的是《魔鬼经济学》这本书,不过当时写的不怎么尽兴,因为这本书是在翻译的太词不达意了,当然也可能是作者自身的思维错乱的问题。最近这书的作者又出了一本叫做《超爆魔鬼经济学》的书,应该可以被视为上一本书的续集(说它是续...
评分曾经听过一个段子,大意是说爱因斯坦同志在天堂和几个人聊天,大科学家问他们的智商是多少,其中一个人说他的智商是160,爱因斯坦说那你可以和我谈相对论,另一个人说他的智商是80,爱因斯坦则说那你可以和我谈经济学。 从这个段子就可以看出经济学家有多不受待见。在相当长的...
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...
评分谁说这本书没有主题,这本书归根到底是一本研究人自身的书。作者所有的研究主线其实都是围绕着一个主题:在动机的驱使下,人类行为所做出的反应。
Fun reading on the way, starting from the market share of sexual act in the first chapter regarding prostitutes.
评分这本写得蛮不错的。好多这方面的书都只说到经济学里边理性选择的部分,但这本还讲到了非理性的部分。特别是念经济,念过行为经济学/金融学(Behavioral Finance),看着就会比较有趣咯。关于全球变暖的一章也很有启发性。
评分the 5 star is purely for the first chapter on prostitute!
评分Well....not as good as expected. Oftentimes the authors just wander off to some unrelated topics without answering directly the questions being asked at the beginning.
评分Fun reading on the way, starting from the market share of sexual act in the first chapter regarding prostitutes.
