      Economics + Devilization

      "Freak Economics" establishes a point of view that contradicts conventional wisdom: if ethics represent the ideal social operation model in our minds, then economics is describing to us how this society works.

        The book also shows all kinds of data collected by every possible means - school test scores, secret evidence of famous Japanese sumo wrestlers, real estate brokers' buying and selling records, and even the secret diaries of undercover underworld agents. Through clever...

      Did you cheat?

      The illusion blinds us from cheating, it makes us think our economy is a rational system, the market is free and open to everyone, in fact, manipulating the market and the game is a good business, because cheating is only a few people Know.

      "Freak Economics", I wanted to fall asleep at one point in the middle (I was tired from starting a business, I had no money to buy an air conditioner, it was all heated, hhhh), but it also means that this also crossed my field of knowledge, it...

      As a documentary, it's quite a failure.

      The biggest disadvantage of this film is that it is too scattered. There are a total of 6 directors and 5 production teams to complete:
      1. Intro & Transitional Segments (including Real Estate, Parenting, Cheating, Cause & Effect, Incentives) 1 director
      2. A Roshanda by Any Other Name 1 director
      3. Pure Corruption 1 director
      4. It's Not Always A Wonderful Life 1 director 5. Can you bribe
      a 9th grader to succeed?

      :
      0. Real Estate
      Does real estate...

      I want to see the original book

      Does your child's name affect your life? Can a child be bribed? How to cheat in Japanese sumo competitions? How much money can a ninth grader pay to get into high school? Very good, focusing on sumo and ninth grade motivation. The cheating and shady scene in sumo, I have seen it before, a closed professional circle with rankings, and the treatment is linked to the ranking. Isn't that giving birth to corruption? Bought the ninth grader, Kevin De's goal turned out to be to become a comedian in...

      Economic Documentary Punch: Economics and Society, Ethics, Education

      When I feel that I will return to my identity as a social person, I will continue to understand economic knowledge.

      Viewpoints in the film:

      1. Real estate agents do not necessarily think about you, and advise customers to sign as soon as possible. In fact, this is easy to figure out. The sales industry is of course working hard for how much compensation it can actually get.

      The opening is about marginal benefits, and the name has nothing to do with sumo or economics. The incentive mechanism at the end is really enlightening. The reason why incentives are used to guide the effect is that the object does not form a fixed understanding; on the contrary, it is much harder to correct the concept. In the final analysis, incentives are related to management, or have nothing to do with the title of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Steven Levitt - Author: The closest thing to a worldview, I would say, in "Freakonomics," is that incentives matter. Not just financial incentives, but social incentives and moral incentives.
