Description

From the cover. Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? How much do parents really matter? Freakonomics reveals the answers to these and many more questions. It is a collaboration between Steven D Levitt, the award-winning University of Chicago economist, and acclaimed author Stephen J Dubner. Based on Levitt's unorthodox research, this groundbreaking book repeatedly turns conventional wisdom on its head and reveals how hidden incentives drive human behavior.
