Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

Worum geht es in dem Buch?

In den 1990er Jahren stieg die Gewaltkriminalität in Amerika an, und Experten sagten voraus, dass sie weiter stark ansteigen würde. Und dann, plötzlich, ging die Kriminalitätsrate zurück. Die Experten führten dies auf bessere Waffengesetze, eine bessere Polizeiarbeit und den Wirtschaftsboom zurück. Aber die Theorien waren falsch. Der wahre Grund war, dass 20 Jahre zuvor die Abtreibung legal wurde. Und es wurden keine Kinder mehr geboren, die in einem ungünstigen Umfeld geboren wurden und daher eher kriminell werden konnten.

Darum geht es in "Freakonomics" des Wirtschaftswissenschaftlers Steven D. Levitt und dem Journalisten Stephen J. Dubner geht es genau darum. Es betrachtet die Welt und wie sie funktioniert wie sie funktioniert, indem es "die verborgene Seite von allem" erforscht. Es stellt die konventionelle Weisheit in Frage und beweist, dass sie oft falsch ist.

Er stellt neue, interessante Fragen, über die die meisten Wirtschaftswissenschaftler nicht einmal nachdenken würden, wie zum Beispiel: Wenn Drogendealer so viel Geld haben, warum leben sie dann noch bei ihren Müttern? Oder was ist gefährlicher: eine Waffe oder ein Swimmingpool? 

Die verborgene Seite von allem  

Für Levitt repräsentiert die Moral die Art und Weise, wie die Menschen die Welt funktionieren soll. Die Ökonomie stellt dar, wie die Welt tatsächlich funktioniert. Also erstens, bietet das Buch fünf grundlegende Einsichten anhand der Wirtschaftswissenschaften.

Anreize sind der Eckpfeiler des modernen Lebens. Sie zu verstehen ist der Schlüssel zur Lösung jedes Rätsels über menschliches Verhalten oder Ereignisse.  

Die herkömmliche Weisheit ist oft falsch. Während wir Erklärungen und Theorien von Experten oft als Tatsache akzeptieren, sind diese oft überhaupt nicht wissenschaftlich. So ist beispielsweise nicht bewiesen, dass das Trinken von acht Gläsern Wasser pro Tag etwas für die Gesundheit bringt.

Dramatische Effekte oder Ereignisse haben oft weit entfernte, sogar subtile Ursachen. So wurde beispielsweise der Rückgang der Kriminalitätsrate nicht durch die jüngsten polizeilichen Maßnahmen verursacht, sondern durch das zwei Jahrzehnte zuvor verabschiedete Abtreibungsgesetz.  

Experten nutzen ihren Informationsvorsprung, um ihre eigene Agenda zu verfolgen. Von Immobilienmaklern bis hin zu Wissenschaftlern haben die meisten Experten ihre eigene Voreingenommenheit zugunsten des Eigeninteresses. Das bedeutet, dass sie nicht immer Ihr bestes Interesse in den Vordergrund stellen.  

Wenn man weiß, was man messen kann und wie man es misst, wird eine komplizierte Welt viel weniger kompliziert. Das bedeutet, dass die moderne Welt trotz ihres Chaos und ihrer scheinbaren Unvorhersehbarkeit verständlich ist, wenn wir lernen, die Daten auf die richtige Weise zu betrachten.

"Die konventionelle Weisheit ist oft falsch". - Steven D. Levitt #Freakonomics

#Freakonomics von Steven D. Levitt und Stephen J. Dubner Analyse und Zusammenfassung

[insomniac-arrest]

Obviously, they have not been releasing Tumblr sexymen and gaslighting girlbosses at a rate sustainable to Blue Space demand. Goncharov reflects a failure in the market forcing Tumblr to fill the gap in supply by creating its own Tumblr sexyman from scratch. The terrarium is evolving. Niche-ing. Folding in on ourselves to become infinitely self-sustaining.

Honestly, I could probably write a Freaknomics book about this, checkmate Steven Levitt.

#Goncharov #unreality #kidding #I would never write a Freakonomics book like that #my version would be taking a book about Astrological signs and make the AI change every mention of the divine feminine to Market Trends

Books I want to read in 2024

I was inspired by @fluencylevelfrench to write this post, so here are the 50 books I want to read in 2024, which is my provisional Goodreads goal. (I always set a lowish number and adjust it throughout the year depending on how my goal progresses.) Last year, I read 121 books, so I'm hoping to be able to read at least 100, but I have no idea what my year is going to look like.
