Landsburg converts to the economy in
somewhat amusing. It carries out studies and shows facts on our
everyday life, that
at first sight that to one never itself him to have occurred. This economist seeks the reasons that explain facts that are done curious. The first trial sample that when the people have more sex, the virus of the HIV is expanded less. With that not quire to say that all they should be promiscuous, but the ones that are not it, the abstemious, they should have more. Because redirige the sexual attention, toward people of smaller risk. In reality what Landsburg tests is that upon avoiding to practice occasional sex (the abstention), enlarges the sexual broadcast illnesses propagation.
The book brings the previous study and other equal of interesting. Iincluso arrives applies formulae math to show it (in the appendix). The body of the text is occupied with ingenious analysis with terms ecónomicos and explained of or simple way. And it more importaten shows as small individual acts are intimamente related to surprising collective results.
But Landsburg does not remain in the description of the typical economist, goes beyond and proposes solutions that are more surprising even, but already presented, is díficil not to give him the reason. A provocative book and entertained. Very in the style of Freakonomics of Steven Levitt. Itself them bearing a grudge.
