Good Book: The Logic of Life - Uncovering the New Economics of Everything

我只有讀第一章，但是已經馬上愛上 Tim Harford 的文筆了。

第一章，Harford 就解釋為何經濟學是一個很好的工具。念經濟學的人，念到最後會時常對這科目失去信心，不相信自己念的東西。然而，Harford 這本書是試圖說服大眾經濟思維裡的 "理性" 的強大力量，他同時也讓我重新找回對這科目的興趣。他寫道:

Does this mean that rational choice theory is as much use as flat earth theory? No. It's more like a perfectly spherical earth theory. The earth isn't a perfect sphere, as anyone who has climbed Mount Everest will tell you. But it's nearly a sphere, and for many purposes, the simplification that the earth is spherical will do nicely.
