When to Rob a Bank

A Rogue Economist's Guide to the World

Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner gather a selection of posts from the Freakonomics blog, using economic thinking to examine unexpected questions about everyday behavior. The essays consider incentives, deception, policy, gambling, sports, and social habits, including why bank robbery is usually a poor financial decision. The book is a companion collection to the authors' Freakonomics books rather than a single sustained argument.
