Freakonomics

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

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 it's all about using information about the world around us to get to the heart of what's really happening under the surface of everyday life.

By unravelling your life's secret codes, you can turn your view of the way things work upside down - and discover a totally new way of seeing the world.
