Freakonomics Rev Ed: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

Freakonomics is a groundbreaking book that challenges conventional wisdom on life-and-death issues and everyday phenomena.

Written by award-winning author and journalist Stephen J.

Dubner, this book explores the hidden side of incentives and how people get what they want, especially when other people want or need the same thing.

With forceful storytelling and wry insight, Freakonomics reveals the inner workings of a crack gang, the truth about real-estate agents, the myths of campaign finance, and the secrets of the Klu Klux Klan.

This book establishes an unconventional premise: that despite complexity and deceit, the modern world is not impenetrable and can be understood with the right questions.

Freakonomics will change the way you think about the world around you.
