1' - Freakonomics

The excerpt from Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner is a collection of chapters that explore how economic principles can be applied to seemingly unrelated situations. The book challenges conventional wisdom by using data analysis to uncover hidden patterns and motivations, and it examines the unexpected consequences of policy decisions. The authors explore topics such as crime, education, parenting, and the role of incentives in human behavior.
