:: ::

Author Steven Levitt, working with journalist Stephen Dubner, shows how
economic theories can be used to analyze social issues. Each of the six
essays explores a different theory or social issue, from cheating by sumo
wrestlers to the economic organization of drug gangs. Along the way it
addresses a series of questions such as “Why do some teachers cheat on test
results?” and “Do parents really make a difference to a child’s success in
life?” Using a series of stories and case studies the author shows that, at
its root, economics is the study of how people behave and how they get what
they want.
