Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life InsuranceThe New York Times best-selling Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation, selling more than four million copies in 35 languages and changing the way we look at the world. Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with Superfreakonomics, and fans and newcomers alike will find that the freakquel is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first. SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions as: How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa? What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? Can eating kangaroo save the planet? Levitt and Dubner mix smart thinking and great storytelling like no one else. By examining how people respond to incentives, they show the world for what it really is: good, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, super freaky.Freakonomics has been imitated many times over – but only now, with SuperFreakonomics, has it met its match.

Avec Freakonomics, leur premier livre, Levitt et Dubner ont transforme notre regard sur le monde en appliquant les methodes de l’economie aux petites bizarreries de la vie quotidienne. SuperFreakonomics aborde une nouvelle serie de questions aussi insolites les unes que les autres. La methode economique n’est ici ni une simple discipline universitaire ni une stricte explication mathematique de l'”economie”, mais un instrument dont il faut se servir pour decrire comment nous prenons des decisions : c’est le mariage de la methode economique et de la curiosite iconoclaste. Finalement, il ressort de toutes ces demonstrations une redoutable evidence : les etres humains, que l’economie traite en sujets rationnels et calculateurs, ne font qu’obeir aux incitations.
