Freakonomics Rev & Expanded

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: a terrorist attack or French fries? Why do sumo wrestlers cheat? This groundbreaking book reveals the answers to these any many more questions. It is a collaboration between Steven D. Levitt, the award-winning University of Chicago economist, and the acclaimed author Stephen J. Dubner. Based on Levitt’s unorthodox research — he is a recipient of the prestigious John Bates Clark Medal — the book repeatedly turns conventional wisdom on its head and reveals how hidden incentives drive human behavior.
