Synopsis:
Freakonomics explores the hidden side of everyday life by applying economic thinking—especially the role of incentives—to unexpected questions and real-world data.
The book examines subjects such as cheating (including in schools and sports), information asymmetry (for example, why real-estate agents behave differently from their clients), and the inner workings of criminal enterprises.
By combining storytelling and statistical analysis, the authors challenge conventional wisdom and show how incentives and data can reveal surprising explanations for puzzling social phenomena.
