内容説明
The New York Times bestselling Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation, selling more than four million copies in thirty-five languages and changing the way we look at the world.
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.
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?
- What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common?
- Can eating kangaroo save the planet?
Levitt and Dubner mix smart thinking and great storytelling like no one else. 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.

: Robert J. Flick None - 2010年7月25日Arrogant, yet still entertaining
Sadly, this book sheds the sense of boyish curiosity that defined Freakonomics and made it so approachable, as Dubner and Levitt tackled interesting problems that seemed to matter and be within their scope with smart techniques and witty prose. While this book is still an entertaining read, their language comes off as simply arrogant, as they seem to bend over backwards to bash conventional wisdom, when in fact many of their techniques are shoddy at best.
Furthermore, it should be said that the chapter on global warming was simply nauseating in its errors and misleading approach.
: Kishore Dandu Plano, TX United States - 2010年7月25日A contrarian take on climate and other good tidbits
This book continues the author's out of the box, easy to digest approach to economics and other relevant topics in current age.
They do give a newer and challenging perspective to decreasing CO2 emissions for saving the planet earth. Thanks to the authors bring IV to the limelight. I am sure Al Gore does not like this perspective of his popular rheoteric. The authors take on altruism, highlighting the trained monkeys behavior similar to humans in a incentive driven environment is fun and engaging.
Overall, this is a good book to have a one time read.
: Kenneth Mead Staten Island, NY United States - 2010年7月24日Price and Book Quality
If you liked Freakonomics you'll like this sequel.
That having been said, this particular product is printed on very, very, very, very low quality paper. I mean, you wouldn't expect paper of such low quality in a paperback edition, let alone in a hardcover.
I wish Amazon had an option to rate the content of the book separate from the quality of the physical product. I'd give the book 5 stars, the physical product 1 star.
: Warren Redlich Albany, NY USA - 2010年7月19日Almost as good as the first one
Loved the first book. This one is almost as good. Some good stories and thoroughly enjoyable.
: David Siegel New York, ny United States - 2010年7月19日A bad exercise in critical thinking (junk science)
This book is *supposed* to make you think, but instead the authors want you to trust them and their methodology. They not only have chapters that trivialize drinking and prostitution, but they their chapter on global warming has been widely debunked by the scientific community. This book gave me a reason to doubt what I thought about climate change and our use of fossil fuels, until I did more research and asked friends in climate science. It's unfortunate that such a potentially influential book has such a one-sided view of such an important issue. Shame on them. If their thinking is so poor in the climate chapter, why should we trust these guys to give us a framework for evaluating and making our own decisions about anything? After a good start with the first book, these two authors have swollen heads and have drunk far too much of their own Kool-Aid. You can have my copy back.
