These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D.Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much heralded scholar who studies the stuff and riddles of everyday life - from cheating and crime to sports and child rearing and whose conclusions regularly turn the conventional wisdom on its head. He usually begins with a mountain of data and a simple, unasked 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".
