About the book

'A sensation ... you'll be stimulated, provoked and entertained. Of how many books can that be said?' Sunday Telegraph
'Prepare to be dazzled' Malcolm Gladwell

WITH A NEW FOREWORD CELEBRATING 20 YEARS SINCE PUBLICATION

Assume nothing, question everything.

This is the message at the heart of Freakonomics, Levitt and Dubner's rule-breaking, iconoclastic book about crack dealers, cheating teachers and bizarre baby names that turned everyone's view of the world upside-down and became an international multi-million-copy-selling phenomenon.

Asking provocative and profound questions about human motivation, Freakonomics will make you see the familiar world through a completely original lens.

'Has you chuckling one minute and gasping in amazement the next' Wall Street Journal

    Fun to read, though I found some of the chapters much more thought provoking than others. The most fascinating part was the proposed connection between Roe v. Wade and crime rates, and it will be interesting to see what kind of impact the recent Supreme Court decision will have on crime in the coming decades.
