Synopsis

One of the greatest young American thinkers offers his provocative and intriguing insights into basic life issues--from cheating to child rearing--in this highly readable and challenging new work Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? Which should be feared more: snakes or french fries? Who really deserves credit for the recent drop in crime? In this groundbreaking book, leading economist Steven Levitt--Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago and winner of the American Economic Association's 2004 John Bates Clark medal for the economist under 40 who has made the greatest contribution to the discipline--reveals that the answers to such questions lie in economic theory, a field he is revolutionizing. Joined by acclaimed author Stephen J. Dubner, Levitt offers his most compelling ideas as he explores the basic questions of everyday life, reaching conclusions that have turned conventional wisdom on its head. Brilliantly reasoned, told in compelling, forthright language, and filled with keen insight, What Do Schoolteachers and Sumo Wrestlers Have in Common? remind us that economics is ultimately the study of incentives and competition--how people get what they want, or need, when others want or need the same thing., The legendary bestseller that made millions look at the world in a radically different way returns in a new edition, now including an exclusive discussion between the authors and bestselling professor of psychology Angela Duckworth. Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? Which should be feared more: snakes or french fries? Why do sumo wrestlers cheat? In this groundbreaking book, leading economist Steven Levitt--Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago and winner of the American Economic Association's John Bates Clark medal for the economist under 40 who has made the greatest contribution to the discipline--reveals that the answers. Joined by acclaimed author and podcast host Stephen J. Dubner, Levitt presents a brilliant--and brilliantly entertaining--account of how incentives of the most hidden sort drive behavior in ways that turn conventional wisdom on its head.

not bad at all, but could be better
So far I enjoyed reading this book. Topics are interested and taken from daily life observations. The text is easy to read, not technical at all. However, while I was reading it, I kept catching myself thinking that delivery could be better. In some parts text is not coherent. They start with one example, then move to another, and then back to the old example. Instead of jumping back and forward I would prefer just moving forward. Overall, I would advice you to get this book especially if you are curious about economics but have trouble connecting it to real life situations.So far I enjoyed reading this book.

Freakonomics by Stephen J. Dubner
This book takes everyday situations and explains them in economics terms. It explains the difference between an action causing a reaction and an action that appears to be caused but is in reality only a byproduct. The author offers very factually based examples of why our world is as it is. Chapter titles such as "Why do drug dealers still live with their mothers?" and "What do school teachers and Sumo wrestlers have in common?" make the content of this book irristable. And ultimately very difficult to put down. Since I read this book I have looked at the world in a different light.This book takes everyday situations and explains them in economics terms.

An awesome book!
Really covers the underlying economics and motivation behind a number of issues (though the different chapters are not really connected.) Very well written and presented in English rather than a statistical format. There are a few controversial issues, but it is particularly hard to argue with the conclusions the authors draw after the evidence is presented. I totally recommend this book for pretty much anyone, though I think people on the extreme side of the political spectrum (both right and left) may take offense to some of the content (though this is definitely NOT the authors' intent.)Really covers the underlying economics and motivation behind a number of issues (though the different chapters are not really connected.)

An insightful book
Stephen Dubner's freakonomics as the name suggests is somewhat "freaky" in terms of conventional wisdom. Its indeed a bold attempt to question our usual way of looking at social events. For example, the fall of Ku Klax Klan due to the loss of their secrecy and how its is similar to the information hoarding of real estate agents is quite interesting. The authors know how to draw a causal relation between two seemingly unrelated incident like the legalisation of abortion in USA and the drop in crime rate in the mid nineties. Moreover the authors have taken utmost care to justify their reasoning with available data unlike the average journalist or media man. Overall its a very nice and exciting read.Stephen Dubner's freakonomics as the name suggests is somewhat "freaky" in terms of conventional wisdom.

Great Book
Very informative and fascinating. This is "applied science" at it"s best. The author uses a keen and observant eye to cut through all the obvious facts and discover the underlying reasons for events and the way people act. Even if you might disagree with some of the author's assertions, you will find yourself looking for your own explanations, below the surface and beyond the obvious.
