Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance
Omschrijving
In 2005, Freakonomics exploded like a bomb on the culture, forever changing the way we understand the way the world works, how we really make decisions, and... how we name our children. After more than two years on the New York Times bestseller list, three million copies sold, and single-handedly inventing a genre of books, University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and New York Times writer Stephen Dubner now return with SUPERFREAKONOMICS. Based on entirely new research, it's bigger, more provocative, and ready to challenge the way we think all over again. The New York Times bestselling Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation. Now, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with SuperFreakonomics, and fans and newcomers alike will find that the "freakquel" is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first.SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions as: How is a street prostitute like a department store Santa? Who adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor? What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? Did TV cause a rise in crime? Can eating kangaroo meat save the planet?Whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically, Levitt and Dubner show the world for what it really is?good, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, superfreaky.
