When to Rob a Bank
by Steven D. Levitt
Overview
Yes! The Dubner & Levitt duo is back. In 2015, the author duo who rose to world-fame over ten years ago with Freakonomics came out with their most recent book When To Rob A Bank. It's a collection of their very best blog posts, reader submissions and other fun bits they've amassed over the past decade.
It views the most diverse everyday situations through the lens of an economist, like most of their work, and shows you where and why common sense does not make sense. We hope you're comfortable getting uncomfortable, because it's about to get revealing! Masters of economics, show us what you got!
