Superfreakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
The "New York Times" bestselling "Freakonomics"
was a worldwide sensation. Now, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J.
Dubner return with "SuperFreakonomics," and fans and
newcomers alike will find that the "freakquel" is even
bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first.
"SuperFreakonomics" challenges the way we think all over
again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions
as: How is a street prostitute like a department store Santa? Who
adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor? What do hurricanes, heart
attacks, and highway deaths have in common? Did TV cause a rise in
crime? Can eating kangaroo meat save the planet? Whether
investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the
price of oral sex has fallen so drastically, Levitt and Dubner show
the world for what it really is--good, bad, ugly, and, in the final
analysis, superfreaky.
