作者简介

Book Description 
Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool?
What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in coommon?
Why do drug dealers still live with their mums?
How much do parents really matter?

These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the stuff and riddles of everyday life - from cheating and crime to sports and child rearing - and whose conclusions regularly turn the conventional wisdom on its head. He usually begins with a mountain of data and a simple, unasked question. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: Freakonomics

From Economist
The book is a delight... It shows what plain old-fashioned economics can do in the hands of a boundlessly curious and superly skilled practitioner...Ingenious.

  •     新瓶装旧酒
  •     思考方式上的启发……然而这样的经济学也太钻牛角尖了吧
  •     听的audio book。我对经济一窍不通,长了不少见识。写得很有趣。
  •     唔
  •     可能还是有差距,思维方式不同吧,有些还是觉得理解不了。但对于批判思维的启蒙来说,值得一读。
  •     批判性思维之典范
  •     易懂的经济学和恰到好处的实例展示别致的思维方式
  •     有趣的一本书,能让你一直抱着诧异的心态读下去。作者思考问题的角度也很特别。不过对于一些数据的分析和结果推断不敢苟同,作者拥有大量数据信息的优势就是可以让读者只看到他想让你看到的而已。学一个有趣的思考的方式,但不能摒弃传统智慧。另外此书一定要看原版,翻译极差。
  •     感觉这本书在10年很火的样子,然而对于16年的潇梦而言实在是太基础入门无聊了. Social scientist in general, not an economist. Chris
  •     Interesting and fun!
  •     堕胎降低犯罪率;老师作弊和欺诈监测;禁枪不如禁泳池;过度育儿。
  •     Four star for the book extra plus for the humble and honest attitude of the author. Another vacation reading.
  •     看的英文版,避免了中文翻译的别扭。特别喜欢parenting一章,很有借鉴意义。
  •     Verbose style with very little content. Full of shallow eye-catching tricks. Learnt almost nothing. The only useful thing is probably the real estate jargons.
  •     风趣的例子加浅显的语言
  •     A proper starter
  •     通俗易懂经济学读物,我喜欢堕胎和毒品的那两个案例。 最后后记中的一句话总结的特别好:If morality represent an ideal world, then economics represent the actual world.
  •     用浅显的语言介绍了许多经济学知识,如Natural experiment, Self-selection bias等,参考文献也是Top级别的杂志上的,推荐
  •     如果说伦理道德代表了我们心目中理想的社会运行模式的话,那么经济学就是在向我们描述社会是如何运行的。 这是一部侦探小说,解开真实世界的伪装
  •     喜欢关于纽约犯罪率下降的部分
