Weber<br /> [00:49.09]While I'm not generally inclined to read economics books,<br /> [00:54.06]Freakonomics is very, very accessible.<br /> [00:58.40]The book is written in clear,<br /> [01:00.66]readily understandable language<br /> [01:03.93](including the best description I've ever seen<br /> [01:07.49]of regression analysis, causality, and correlation).<br /> [01:13.21]The topics discussed are quite interesting<br /> [01:16.68] - why crime REALLY went down in the 90's,<br /> [01:20.60]the impact parents can REALLY have on their kids,<br /> [01:24.73]and several others.<br /> [01:27.39]Whether one ultimately agrees<br /> [01:29.66]with the authors' conclusions or not,<br /> [01:32.80]the book certainly encourages you<br /> [01:35.56]to think about everyday things more critically<br /> [01:40.21]and not just accept the conventional wisdom.  <br /> [01:45.12]My only disappointment is that the book wasn't longer!<br /> [01:51.27]講解<br /> [02:43.44]Good Point（D. T. Jones）     <br /> [02:49.47]In a nutshell,<br /> [02:51.12]I liked this; it looked at many things<br /> [02:55.07]that seem to cross the minds of normal<br /> [02:58.16]and abnormal people.<br /> [03:01.01]We can look at much in the world and wonder why,<br /> [03:05.31]where, and what for.<br /> [03:09.99]It certainly blows the doors off of several issues and ideas<br /> [03:15.57]that many folks seemed to take for granted.<br /> [03:20.48]I found this information and the conclusions<br /> [03:24.28]drawn in this book very enlightening and useful.<br /> [03:29.52]I can now see how and why some folks<br /> [03:34.23]are destined to succeed,<br /> [03:36.88]many more are going to fail<br /> [03:39.47]without truly understanding<br /> [03:42.26]that they could change just one thing about themselves,<br /> [03:47.62]if not to merely wreck the conventional wisdom<br /> [03:51.11]that seems to be prevalent everywhere today.<br /> [03:57.39]"Steven Levitt has the most interesting mind in America,<br /> [04:02.61]and reading Freakonomics<br /> [04:04.73]is like going for a leisurely walk with him<br /> [04:08.20]on a sunny summer day,<br /> [04:10.68]as he waves his fingers in the air<br /> [04:13.72]and turns everything you once thought to be true inside out.<br /> [04:19.53]Prepare to be dazzled."<br /> [04:22.25]- Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point and Blink<br /> [04:34.77]講解<br /> [06:05.73]"If Indiana Jones were an economist,<br /> [06:10.37]he'd be Steven Levitt.<br /> [06:12.96]The most recent winner of the John Bates Clark award<br /> [06:17.71]for the best economist under the age of 40,<br /> [06:22.00]Mr. Levitt is famous<br /> [06:24.38]not as a master of dry technical arcane<br /> [06:28.68]but as a maverick treasure hunter<br /> [06:31.86]who relies for success on his wit,<br /> [06:35.25]pluck and disregard for conventional wisdom.<br /> [06:40.02]Mr. Levitt's typical quarry<br /> [06:42.73]is hidden not in some exotic locale but in a pile of data.<br /> [06:50.00]His genius is to take a seemingly meaningless set of numbers,<br /> [06:55.24]ferret out the telltale pattern and recognize what it means.<br /> [07:03.65]講解<br /> [07:55.67]It was Mr. Levitt<br /> [07:57.47]who nailed a bunch of Chicago public-school teachers<br /> [08:01.67]for artificially inflating<br /> [08:04.29]their students' standardized test scores.<br /> [08:07.90]I'm dying to tell you exactly how he did it,<br /> [08:11.82]but I don't want to spoil any surprises.<br /> [08:16.50]His account of the affair in "Freakonomics"<br /> [08:20.61]reads like a detective novel."

Landsburg, Wall Street Journal<br /> [09:10.27]"In an age of too much wishful,<br /> [09:14.13]faith-based conventional wisdom on the right and left,<br /> [09:19.08]and too much intellectual endeavor<br /> [09:22.42]squeezed into prefab ideological containers,<br /> [09:27.54]Freakonomics is politically incorrect in the best,<br /> [09:32.23]most essential way.<br /> [09:34.85]Levitt and Dubner suss out all kinds of surprising truths<br /> [09:41.02]-- sometimes important ones,<br /> [09:43.49]sometimes merely fascinating ones-- <br /> [09:46.96]by means of a smart, deep, rigorous,<br /> [09:51.73]open-minded consideration of facts,<br /> [09:55.14]with a fearless disregard<br /> [09:57.60]for whom they might be upsetting.<br /> [10:00.80]This is bracing fun of the highest order."<br /> [10:05.07]- Kurt Andersen, host of public radio's Studio 360<br /> [10:12.41]and author of Turn of the Century <br /> [11:29.61]出版社：廣東經(jīng)濟(jì)出版社<br /> [11:32.06]出版日期：2006-3<br /> [11:34.98]頁數(shù)：209<br /> [11:39.32]知行提示</p>
