ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Freakonomics” by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner explores the hidden side of everyday life through the lens of economics. The book examines how incentives shape human behavior in surprising ways, revealing connections between seemingly unrelated topics like crime, education, and parenting. By applying economic principles to diverse social issues, the authors challenge conventional wisdom and uncover hidden truths about how the world works. Through case studies and data-driven analysis, Freakonomics encourages readers to think differently about the forces influencing their decisions and the societal systems they navigate daily.
