Description
By Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their mothers? How much do parents actually matter?
Not typical questions for an economist, but Levitt is not a typical economist. The book applies economic tools to cheating, crime, parenting and estate agents, and its most contested chapter argues that legalised abortion explains a large share of the fall in American crime.
