书籍简介:
"The rational behavior is much more widespread than you would expect and crops up in the most unexpected places—including the heads of oversexed teenagers…
Drug addicts and teenage muggers can be rational. Suburban sprawl and inner-city decay are certainly rational. Those endless meetings at the office and the grotesque injustices of working life? Rational.
In the hands of economists, "rational choice theory" produces an X-ray image of human life. Like the X-ray, rational choice theory does not show everything. Nor is the picture necessarily very pretty. But it shows you something important, and something that you could not see before."
