Freakonomics Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner

The main idea of the book is laid out: that is, if ethics are present, how people will work like the world, then economics shows that it really does work. Why conventional wisdom is so often wrong ... How do "experts" - from criminologists to real estate agents to political scientists-bend the truth ... Why is knowing what to measure, and how to measure it, is key to understanding modern life ... "Freakonomics," is?
