Steve Landsburg has been leading the pack of economists who are
transforming their science from a drab meditation on graphs and
charts into a fascinating window on human nature. Now he's back and
more provocative than ever with surprises on virtually every page.
In More Sex is Safer Sex, Professor Landsburg offers readers a
series of stimulating discussions that all flow from one unsettling
fact. Combining the rational decisions of each of us often produces
an irrational result for all of us. Avoiding casual sex can
actually encourage the spread of diseases. To solve population
pressures, we need more people. In his tantalizing, entertaining
narrative, Landsburg guides us through these shocking notions by
the light of compelling logic and evidence and makes suggestions
along the way: Why not charge juries if a convicted felon is
exonerated? Why not let firemen keep the property they rescue? As
entertaining as it is inflammatory, More Sex is Safer Sex, will
make readers think about their decisions in unforgettable ways-and
spark debate over much that we all take for granted.
