Freakonomics Rev Ed: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner

Freakonomics asks the questions a normal economist never would, then answers them with data and a wicked grin. Levitt and Dubner pull on threads connecting schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers, drug dealers and real-estate agents, and unravel a surprisingly entertaining theory of how the world actually works.
