书名: 《Freakonomics: A Rougue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything》
作者: Steven D. Levitt
类别: 科普,經濟學
简介: Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? 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 studies the riddles of everyday life—from cheating and crime to parenting and sports—and reaches conclusions that turn conventional wisdom on its head. Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. They set out to explore the inner workings of a crack gang, the truth about real estate agents, the secrets of the Ku Klux Klan, and much more. Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, they show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives—how people get what they want or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.
推荐理由:這本書以數個案例來嘗試解釋一些社會事件背後真正的因果關係,讓我們瞭解其實經濟學家並不是只在意貨幣,利率等等,而是關心研究人類的一般行為模式。這本書非常易讀有趣,文筆風趣,觀點也常令人耳目一新,可能會讓一般門外漢從此改變對經濟學的認知。這本書在台灣有中譯本,而且翻譯水平不錯,不過我在書苑沒有找到。
