Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

Economics meets pop culture; eye-opening unconventional insights.

If you wonder about the 'why' behind societal patterns, Freakonomics will offer you an intriguing perspective. Steven Levitt takes seemingly mundane elements of daily life and unravels the unexpected economic forces behind them. It's a book that speaks to the naturally curious, challenging conventional wisdom with tales that entertain as much as they illuminate. Perfect for someone who enjoys thinking outside the box and revels in surprising revelations.

Description

What do estate agents and the Ku Klux Klan have in common? Why do drug dealers live with their mothers? How can your name affect how well you do in life? The answer: Freakonomics. It's at the heart of everything we do and the things that affect us daily, from sex to crime, parenting to politics, fat to cheating, fear to traffic jams. And it's all about using information about the world around us to get to the heart of what's really happening under the surface of everyday life. Now updated with the authors' New York Times columns and blog entries, this cult bestseller will show you how, by unravelling your life's secret codes, you can discover a totally new way of seeing the world.
