Freakonomics : A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything - Thryft

Uncover the secrets of everyday life.

Freakonomics offers a unique perspective through the lens of economics, providing insights into fascinating topics such as how our names can impact our success, the similarities between the Ku Klux Klan and real estate agents, and why drug dealers still live with their mothers. The book's most distinctive feature is its ability to apply economic principles to topics that may seem unrelated, resulting in fresh insights and a new way of seeing the world. It is recommended for anyone who enjoys learning about unconventional topics and wants to gain a greater understanding of the underlying factors influencing our daily lives.
