Description
Which poses a greater peril: a firearm or a swimming pool? What unexpected commonalities unite schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers? Why do drug dealers defy convention by residing with their mothers? How profound is the influence of parental guidance? How did the legalization of abortion impact the trajectory of violent crime?
These may seem like unconventional inquiries for an economist, but Steven D. Levitt is no ordinary economist. He is a celebrated scholar who unravels the enigmas of everyday life, delving into subjects ranging from cheating and crime to sports and child-rearing, arriving at conclusions that defy conventional wisdom. Welcome to the groundbreaking realm of Freakonomics, the field of study encapsulated within this captivating audiobook.
Levitt, alongside his co-author Stephen J. Dubner, unveils that economics, at its core, is the study of incentives: how individuals pursue their wants or needs, particularly when others covet the same objectives. In Freakonomics, they explore the hidden underpinnings of...well, everything. The inner workings of a crack gang...the unvarnished truth about real estate agents...the closely guarded secrets of the Ku Klux Klan.
Uniting these diverse narratives is a profound belief that the modern world harbors even more intrigue than we realize. All it takes is a fresh perspective, and Freakonomics will redefine how we perceive the contemporary world.
