À propos de cet audio
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 the conventional wisdom on its head. Thus the new field of study contained in this audiobook: Freakonomics.
Levitt and co-author Stephen J. 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 working of a crack gang...the truth about real-estate agents...the secrets of the Klu Klux Klan.
What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking, and Freakonomics will redefine the way we view the modern world.

Thought Provoking

The content is interesting and offers one great thought experiments and solutions to complicated questions. I knew going in what some of the topics and conclusions were but still enjoyed listening to Levitt justify his findings.
Given that I’m a listener of Steven Levite’s podcast and used to the high production value he now offers, I found this recording lacking a certain spark. It’s not bad, just average.
I would recommend this book to everyone. It’s a great way to learn how to objectively look at a question and formulate an unbiased conclusion based solely in the evidence.

Interesting but could’ve been better

An original thinker is all well and good, but everyone has bias, and any claim that one professes to be apolitical, yet implicitly embraces free market Capitalism should raise eyebrows.
