No, but I'm always into the wind, but I wanted terribly to read the position of a case of cannibalism in Russia (I hope nothing pokiełbasiłam) However, this proved to be a stronger call to address the topic of economics, and more specifically - Freakonomics.
Beloved, nothing clever to me in this matter will not hear, there will be no lecture, which is true, and what he does not agree, because I and economics are the two planets, in addition lying far apart. I can not help it, damn bored me thinking about the mechanisms of sale, investment, economic development, etc. Let this deal wiser, and I read, listen to music, flowers smell, the dog chase - live in ignorance of the economy as it does not try on a slipper.
About this item I heard a lot of good, actually about the first part, whether I wanted to buy it for the partner's daughter, a young financier, but it turned out that I have, read, and highly praised.
I saw the title of the second part of the list and ignite the rule, because I knew that only in such form as I manage something on this issue learn to get out of this state amebowatego and no longer be so stupid in this matter, but because it's a shame.
not disappointed. Super Freakonomics is for all - for who knew about - it will be great fun, for the layman - a great załapanie way, what these all mean. Of course it will not make us experts, economists, because it's not textbook, after all.
The Freakonomics authors raise such a broad spectrum of topics, it is difficult to find all the quote.
authors themselves say about their work like this:
"Presented here the stories are set in different landscapes, from the corridors of the closed little world of academic najpaskudniejszych corners of the streets. Many of them are based on the latest scientific research Levitt, others inspired by colleagues economists and engineers, astrophysicists, psychopathic killers, doctors call acute, amateur historians, neuroscientists and transsexuals. Most of these texts can be divided into two categories: always thought you know this, but I really do not know, I never thought that you want to know, but I really want and it very much. "Did you know for example that development of civilization, urbanization in the nineteenth century, resulted in a serious problem that has been called by economists - the negative externalities? description of these problems would suggest that it is a car, and it really meant is that the little lacking, and the city zalałaby river horse dung and the people themselves completely stopped giving the advice, the amount of fertilizer beyond the means of disposal, so to speak, and here come the aid of automobile, later known as cars. These in turn have their own negative externalities, such as increased emissions of carbon dioxide, which results in finding other sources of energy and so on and so forth. Creative destruction. Progress rescues in one case, destroyed in the second. Without this bad, it's even worse. Or take the case
: Sharks-v-elephants. Here the authors show us the clash of the created image and narzucanego us, for example by the media, the truth, and statistics. Shark attacks a year are recorded more than 60, including four deaths, but the sharks in our consciousness are so horrifying that we have noticed this in the water, we are ready to break the record for fear of swimming speed of a hundred, or fall of a heart attack before they reach us. And elephants? It's such a lovable pet, and you have a trumpet on it pohuśtać have such a benevolent eyes ... which does not change the fact that they kill about 200 people annually. The authors of these examples (there are more), at the very beginning of his book, proving that it is important (and they do), relying on facts, figures, and not on opinions, emotional reactions, and heard anecdotal anomalies.
And just as in Hitchocka, starting with a thick tube, and then the voltage increases.
Interestingly enough, for good :-) feminists - women who work as specialists in their field, who have surrendered, for personal reasons and not for any scientific research, to be clear, sex-change operation, since men earned more and were more appreciated . We can also learn that despite appearances pimp for a prostitute can be 'added value' in a good sense.
Also interesting read about how it ever has in the emergency departments in hospitals, like trying to cope with postpartum fever (and what to do with this doctor), what was the history of the implementation of safety belts in cars, whether it is better to walk, or ride while intoxicated, and whether people are more selfish or altruistic, in some cases. It is interesting to also look at the terrorist attacks, including the September 11, from the point of view of numbers and economics. It's all served with zest and extremely interesting and entertaining way. I tell you I read with pencil in hand, and agape.
I imagine that if an economist wants to read 'your Chmielewska', it would be just super Freakonomics. Amused to zrelaksowałam, I learned many interesting things and understood some of these mechanisms. What more do want from a book of this kind? Great. I recommend with hand on heart.
Thank you for your suggestion publisher sign reading it.
