Book Description
書本介紹
Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool?
槍和游泳池哪個更加危險?
What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in coommon?

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
這些問題看起來並不是一個經濟學家應該回答的問題。但是這些正是經濟學家史蒂芬·D·萊維特擅長的東西。他是一位備受歡迎的專家,喜好研究日常生活中的各種事物和謎題——從作弊和犯罪現象到體育運動和養育孩子——他的結論經常顛覆傳統智慧。在書本各章中,他總是會先列出無數個數據並且提出一個尤其簡單卻尚未解答的問題,一些問題牽連到生死的問題,而另一些則具有更多奇聞異事的性質。因此,這本書所涉及到的新研究領域
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.
