«Freakonomics» is the economics essay by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, published by Ediciones B in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The book applies economics to everyday and unexpected phenomena: the drug trade, baby names, or the relationship between crime and social variables. Levitt and Dubner argue that everything comes down to incentives and, with practical examples and irony, show the hidden side of decisions we take for granted.
First title in the Freakonomics series; translation by Andrea Montero Cusset and original work published in 2005 as «Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything».
For readers with no prior training seeking an introduction to economics and human behavior; also serves as reading in economics courses.
