«Freakonomics» is the economics essay by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, published by William Morrow & Co in hardcover (336 pages, in English).
With questions like what is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool, or why drug dealers live with their mothers, Levitt and Dubner apply economic analysis to everyday life. Against morality, economics shows how the world works: studying hidden incentives reveals the least visible side of reality and challenges common sense.
Revised and expanded edition published in 2006; subtitle: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything.
Recommended for readers interested in statistics, popular culture and social sciences who seek a provocative look at everyday life.
