Reseña del editor:

How can your name affect how well you do in life? What do estate agents and the Ku Klux Klan have in common? Why do drug dealers live with their mothers?

The answer: Freakonomics. It’s at the heart of everything we do and the things that affect us daily: from sex to crime, parenting to politics, fat to cheating, fear to traffic jams. And we can use it to get to the heart of what’s really happening under the surface of everyday life.

This cult bestseller will show you how, by unravelling your life’s secret codes, you can discover a totally new way of seeing the world.

Contraportada:

In which the book's central idea is set forth: namely, if morality represents how
people would like the world to work, then economics shows how it actually does
work.

Why the conventional wisdom is so often wrong...How "experts"-from
criminologists to real-estate agents to political scientists-bend the facts...Why
knowing what to measure, and how to measure it, is the key to understanding
modern life...
