![]() Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics 《错误的行为:行为经济学关于世界的思考,从个人到商业与社会》 By Richard H. Thaler 作者:理查德·泰勒 English edition available in the HS Library 本书中文版可从初中馆借阅 Richard H. Thaler, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2017, was praised as an economist who "made economics more human" by the Economic Sciences Prize Committee. He is also a great storyteller. Misbehaving may seem a serious read, but it is more fun and personal than a typical professor's book. It offers a humorous account of the progress of a gifted practitioner's struggles and triumphs. The book also shares Thaler's key concepts and insights behind the complexities of the world: from mugs to taxis, from beauty contests to sports competitions, and from daily expenses to investment. If you are a reader who likes questioning authorities, you will enjoy Misbehaving for his tease about the shortcomings of classical economic theories. 2017年的诺贝尔经济学家得主理查德·泰勒,被学界认为是"使经济学更人性化"的经济学家。他不仅是行为经济学派的创始人,还是一个很会讲故事的人。在这本精彩的书中,泰勒根据心理学的近期研究成果,以及他对动机和市场行为的洞察,引导我们学习如何在日渐复杂的世界中,做出更理智的判断。从马克杯到出租车,从竞猜节目到球员选秀,从日常消费到拍卖投资,泰勒向我们展示了如何将行为经济学运用在现实生活当中。喜欢质疑权威的读者,会十分享受他对古典经济学理论的揶揄。
