Freakonomics 1

"Freakonomics", an interesting and brain-burning book, is a best-seller in dozens of countries. It provides insights into the deep motivations of human behavior and helps you see the world like a smart person.
Levitt and Dubner draw on everyday life, using economics to explore the world behind everyday events: Does reading to a baby make it a better student? Are swimming pools more dangerous than guns? The structure of drug cartels is actually very similar to that of McDonald's; differences in parenting styles have little impact on children...
The topics are varied, but they all relate to the way we view the world.
"Freakonomics 1" establishes a view that goes against conventional wisdom: if ethics represents the ideal social operating model in our minds, then economics describes to us how this society actually operates.
The author also presents a variety of data meticulously collected—school test scores, the secret evidence of a famous Japanese sumo wrestler, real estate agent transaction records, and even the secret diaries of undercover gang members. Through clever analysis of this data, the author draws surprising conclusions. They will teach you how to use data to analyze the world you see, revealing the true nature of the world...
Freakonomics 1 is like a detective novel, except the author's ultimate goal isn't to "find the murderer" but to "unmask the real world." Almost every word in Freakonomics 1 defies conventional wisdom, and many of its findings are truly astonishing.
