Freakonomics REV Ed: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything de Steven D. Levitt,Stephen J. Dubner
Descripción - CrÃticas 'A showcase for Levitt's intriguing explorations into a number of disparate topics.... There's plenty of fun to be had.'--Salon.com'One of the decade's most intelligent and provocative books.'--The Daily Standard'The guy is interesting!'--Washington Post Book World'Steven Levitt has the most interesting mind in America... Prepare to be dazzled.'--Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink and The Tipping Point'Freakonomics was the 'It' book of 2005.'--Fort Worth Star-Telegram'Principles of economics are used to examine daily life in this fun read.'--People: Great Reads'Provocative... eye-popping.'--New York Times Book Review: Inside the List'The funkiest study of statistical mechanics ever by a world-renowned economist... Eye-opening and sometimes eye-popping'--Entertainment Weekly'Freakonomics is politically incorrect in the best, most essential way.... This is bracing fun of the highest order.'--Kurt Andersen, host of public radio's Studio 360 and author of Turn of the Century'Levitt is a number cruncher extraordinaire.'--Philadelphia Daily News Reseña del editor Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? How did the legalization of abortion affect the rate of violent crime?These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the riddles of everyday life—from cheating and crime to sports and child-rearing—and whose conclusions turn conventional wisdom on its head. Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. They usually begin with a mountain of data and a simple question. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: Freakonomics.Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives—how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they explore the hidden side of . . . well, everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The truth about real-estate agents. The myths of campaign finance. The telltale marks of a cheating schoolteacher. The secrets of the Ku Klux Klan. What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world, despite a great deal of complexity and downright deceit, is not impenetrable, is not unknowable, and—if the right questions are asked—is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Freakonomics establishes this unconventional premise: If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then economics represents how it actually does work. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with enough riddles and stories to last a thousand cocktail parties. But Freakonomics can provide more than that. It will literally redefine the way we view the modern world. Contraportada Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common?
