«Freakonomics» is the economics essay by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, published by Penguin Books Ltd (UK) in paperback (336 pages, in English).
Freakonomics applies economic reasoning to everyday matters and shows that causes are not what they seem. It asks why drug dealers live with their mothers, what real estate agents and the Ku Klux Klan have in common, or how a name influences life. Includes columns and blog posts by the authors in The New York Times.
First title in the Freakonomics series.
For readers interested in economics and sociology who want to understand everyday phenomena through data and incentives.
