Economists Levitt and Dubner became famous throughout the world by laying out complex economic laws with hooligan ease in the best-selling book Freakonomics. In their new book, they examine the problems of the global economy using the most unexpected and funny examples. Why is shrimp consumption constantly increasing? Why do women feel more unhappy than men? How to link ecology and brothels for financial gain? What is the real benefit of import substitution? Why do we succumb to herd mentality? The authors write about all this briefly and captivatingly in a friendly manner. An excellent book for those who like to look at problems from an unusual point of view!
