In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the landmark book Freakonomics comes this curated collection from the most readable economics blog in the universe. It’s the perfect solution for the millions of readers who love all things Freakonomics. Surprising and erudite, eloquent and witty, When to Rob a Bank demonstrates the brilliance that has made the Freakonomics guys an international sensation, with more than 7 million books sold in 40 languages, and 150 million downloads of their Freakonomics Radio podcast.
When Freakonomics was first published, the authors started a blog—and they’ve kept it up. The writing is more casual, more personal, even more outlandish than in their books. In When to Rob a Bank, they ask a host of typically off-center questions: Why don’t flight attendants get tipped? If you were a terrorist, how would you attack? And why does KFC always run out of fried chicken?
Over the past decade, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Many of them, they freely admit, were rubbish. But now they’ve gone through and picked the best of the best. You’ll discover what people lie about, and why; the best way to cut gun deaths; why it might be time for a sex tax; and, yes, when to rob a bank. (Short answer: never; the ROI is terrible.) You’ll also learn a great deal about Levitt and Dubner’s own quirks and passions, from gambling and golf to backgammon and the abolition of the penny.
Culled from over 8,000 posts, this collection tackles the off-center questions that reveal the hidden side of everything:
- Unconventional Wisdom: Discover why KFC always runs out of chicken, the best way to cut gun deaths, and the surprisingly terrible ROI of robbing a bank.
- Behavioral Economics in Action: Explore the hidden reasons why people lie, why flight attendants don't get tipped, and whether it's time for a sex tax.
- The Freakonomics Mindset: Get a behind-the-scenes look at the casual, personal, and often outlandish ideas from their celebrated blog.
- Everyday Mysteries Solved: Learn what Levitt and Dubner really think about everything from gambling and golf to the abolition of the penny.
