Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? How much do parents really matter?  These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He studies the riddles of everyday life—from cheating and crime to parenting and sports—and reaches conclusions that turn conventional wisdom on its head.  Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. They set out to explore the inner workings of a crack gang, the truth about real estate agents, the secrets of the Ku Klux Klan, and much more.  Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, they 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.

When to Rob a Bank: A Rogue Economist's Guide to the World

Allen Lane.

La continuación del fenómeno Freakonomics, con más de 4 millones de copias vendidas La economía trata sobre la inflación, los tipos de interés y la bolsa. Superfreakonomics habla de prostitutas, traficantes de droga y luchadores de sumo fracasados. Han sido cuatro años buscando no solo las preguntas más difíciles, sino las más sorprendentes: ¿Es más peligroso conducir borracho o caminar borracho? ¿Por qué se receta la quimioterapia tan a menudo si es tan poco eficaz? ¿Puede un cambio de sexo elevar tu salario? Superfreakonomics desafía nuestra manera de pensar, y explora el lado oculto de las cosas con preguntas como: ¿En qué se parece una prostituta al Papá Noel de unos grandes almacenes? ¿Por qué los médicos se lavan tan poco las manos? ¿Provocó la televisión un incremento del crimen? ¿Cuán útiles son los cinturones de seguridad? ¿Podemos salvar el planeta comiendo canguro? Levitt y Dubner combinan una gran inteligencia con la capacidad para contar historias mejor que nadie, ya sea a la hora de buscar una solución al calentamiento global o explicar por qué el precio del sexo oral ha caído de manera tan radical. Al analizar cómo la gente responde a los incentivos, muestran el mundo tal cual es: bueno, malo, feo, y finalmente, superfreaky.
