Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
Through forceful storytelling and sharp insight, Freakonomics reminds its readers that economics is, at its root, the study of incentives-how people get what they want or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.
Employing statistical tools that are both simple and elegant, Levitt and Dubner show how understanding the concept of 'Freakonomics' has the power to redefine our view of the modern world.
“The funkiest study of statistical mechanics ever by a world-renowned economist ... Eye-opening and sometimes eye-popping” -- Entertainment Weekly
