一位另类经济学家探索万物的隐秘背面。枪支和游泳池，哪个更危险？学校教师和相扑选手之间有什么共同点？为什么毒贩还在跟自己的妈妈住在一起？父母对孩子的影响究竟有多大？堕胎合法化又是如何影响暴力犯罪率的？这些问题听起来或许不像是传统经济学会提出的命题。但 Steven D. Levitt 绝非传统意义上的经济学家。他是一位备受赞誉的学者，专注于破解日常生活中的谜团——从作弊、犯罪到体育竞技与子女抚养——他的结论颠覆了传统

我在 2005 年读了达布纳和李维特的《魔鬼经济学》（Freakonomics）。说一本通俗科普书改变了我的人生听起来挺逊的，但从那时起，我确实每天都在思考经济学。我很推荐看点通俗经济学，好去熟悉一种简化风格的……
I read Dubner and Levitt's Freakonomics in 2005. It's lame to say that a pop-science book changed my life, but since then I've thought about economics every day. I would recommend some pop-econ to become familiar with a stylized version of…

……有几本经济学书，我非常严肃地认为应该强迫每个人都去读一读。黑兹利特的《一课经济学》、米尔顿和罗斯·弗里德曼的《自由选择》、李维特和达布纳的《魔鬼经济学》（这本书读起来真是太他妈有趣了），还有给黑客们看的：帕特森的《机器之神》（可以理解为将工程学原理应用于经济学、历史和政治。大概……
…a couple of economics books that I quite seriously believe everyone should be forced to read. Economics in One Lesson, by Hazlitt Free to Choose: A Personal Statement, by Milton and Rose Friedman Freakonomics, by Levitt and Dubner (this book is just so damn fun to read) and for the hackers: The God of the Machine, by Paterson (Think engineering principles as applied to economics, history and politics. Probably…
……作为来自中国台湾的第一代移民，而且自孩子们出生后我们有机会在东亚生活过，所以我们给自己的孩子起英文名和中文名时都深思熟虑过。）最初那本《魔鬼经济学》里有一章讲美国人取名的内容非常有意思，其中就提到了约翰逊一家的案例（约翰逊是美国第二常见的姓氏），他们生了很多孩子，而且……
…first-generation immigrant from Taiwan, and we have had occasion to live in east Asia since our children were born, we thought carefully about both English and Chinese names for our own children.) The original Freakonomics book has a very interesting section on names in the United States, including the case of the Johnson family (Johnson is the second most frequent surname in the United States) who had many children, and…
史蒂芬·李维特和史蒂芬·达布纳写的《魔鬼经济学》。很棒的一本书，讲的是人们如何以及为何会对激励（incentives）做出反应。里面有大量好例子，都是用数据支撑的引人入胜的故事讲出来的。
"Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. Great book about how and why people respond to incentives. A lot of good examples told through fascinating stories supported by data.
……斯密、马克思、罗宾逊、哈耶克和李嘉图在奠定现代经济理论基石方面做得非常出色。如果你想了解经济学中偏定量的一面，《浅显易懂的计量经济学》（Mostly Harmless Econometrics）、《魔鬼经济学》以及（在极偏理论层面上的）《经济动态的递归方法》都是必读书目。皮凯蒂的《二十一世纪资本论》目前争议很大，因为支撑他理论的底层证据确实很吸睛……
…Smith, Marx, Robinson, Hayek, and Ricardo do a fantastic job laying the groundwork for modern economic theory. If you're looking for the quantitative side of economics, Mostly Harmless Econometrics, Freakonomics, and (on the very theoretical side) Recursive Methods in Economic Dynamics are must reads. Capital by Picketty is currently being debated, as the underlying evidence towards his theories are compelling…
