In the book‚ Freakonomics‚ by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J.

    This summer we were assigned to read the book Freakonomics written by Steven D Levitt and Stephen J Dubner. This book was very interesting to read. Reading the book each chapter asked a question and then once you read the book‚ it will answer the question. Stephen Levitt begins the introduction by discussing the rise in crime in the early 1990s. Violent crime was relentless‚ and experts predicted it was only going to get worse. The news and media always portrayed each criminal as a heartless thug

Dubner‚ is an explanatory book that seeks to show the reader the truth behind economics through tying economic themes to pop culture ones. The almost guide-like book takes the reader on a trip that explains why people do the things they do and how it all relates‚ making comical connections like Sumo wrestlers to teachers.
