Freakonomics : A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything: Synopsis

What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? Why do drug dealers still live with their mothers? Why do prostitutes earn more than architects? How is the Ku Klux Klan like a group of estate agents? In Freakonomics Steven Levitt asks a series of provocative and profound questions about contemporary living and helps us to see the familiar world through a completely original lens. He examines everything from education to traffic jams, from food to guns, from sports to getting elected, from betting to parenting, pushing back the boundaries of economics along the way. Levitt turns conventional economics on its head, stripping away the jargon and calculations of the 'experts' to explore the riddles of everyday life. He reaches some astonishing conclusions, showing us that Freakonomics is all about how people get what they want.
