What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? What kind of impact did Roe v Wade have on violent crime? Freakonomics will literally redefine the way we view the modern worldThese may not sound like typical uestions for an economist to ask But Steven D Levitt is not a typical economist He is a much heralded scholar who studies the stuff and riddles of everyday life from cheating and crime to sports and child rearing and whose conclusions regularly turn the conventional wisdom on its head He usually begins with a mountain of data and a simple unasked uestion Som.
E of these uestions concern life and death issues; others have an admittedly freakish uality Thus the new field of study contained in this book freakonomicsThrough forceful storytelling and wry insight Levitt and co author Stephen J Dubner show that economics is at root the study of incentives how people get what they want or need especially when other people want or need the same thing In Freakonomics they set out to explore the hidden side of well everything The inner workings of a crack gang The truth about real estate agents The myths of campaign finance The telltale marks of a cheating schoolteacher The secrets of the Ku Klux KlanWhat unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world.

There were a bunch of theories all of them superficially plausibleLevitt crunched the numbers to see what proportion of the variance could be ascribed to the differen

Levitt and Dubner and probably the kind of smart arse nerds who snigger at you because you don't understand linux but sneer at you because you've actually spoken to a woman This book is much like the Emperor's New Clothes people are so scared about being left out if they don't like or understand it because some sandal wearing hippy in the Guardian said it's 'This year's Das Capital' or some such bollocks that they feel compelled to join some sort of unspoken club where they all jizz themselves silly over a book that effectively is 300 pages of pure condescensionOnly buy this book if a facist
