Sinopse

´Freakonomics´ is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. They usually begin with a mountain of data and a simple question. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book - freakonomics. The book establishes an unconventional premise - If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then economics represents how it actually does work. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with enough riddles and stories to last a thousand cocktail parties. But ´Freakonomics´ can provide more than that. It will literally redefine the way we view the modern world.
