Economics has never been hotter---thanks in large part to Steven Levitt, Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. Levitt's view of economics is not what you learned in college. He takes a social/pop-culture look at the world and finds the answers to questions like "What is the real reason the country saw a drop in crime in the 1990s?" in economic terms the reader may not even realize are economics. Once you read this book you'll never see the world the same way again.
