Stephen J. Dubner and Steven Levitt
Introduction
Why are cities no longer covered in horse manure? Why don't terrorists buy life insurance? All these questions and more can be answered by economics.
Steven Levitt is an economics professor at the University of Chicago, while Stephen Dubner is a journalist and the host of Freakonomics Radio.
In this follow-up to the insanely popular 2005 book Freakonomics, the authors continue to use economics in unorthodox ways, studying phenomena from sex work to seatbelts.
By looking at the surprising narratives that hide within data and statistics, Levitt and Dubner uncover the patterns that drive human behavior.
