SuperFreakonomics

Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance

SuperFreakonomics applies economic thinking to unexpected questions about everyday behavior, incentives, and social problems. Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner examine subjects such as altruism, terrorism, climate intervention, prostitution, and parenting, using data and case studies to challenge intuitive explanations. The book is the follow-up to Freakonomics and continues its focus on the hidden incentives behind seemingly unrelated phenomena.
