Do parents matter? Can society take steps to reduce crime? Does everyone cheat when no one is looking? Freakonomics supplies answers to these questions and more. Using some basic principles of economics, rogue economist Steven Levitt takes a microscope to society's puzzles. With the help of journalist Stephen J. Dubner, "Freakonomics" is a smart, compelling, and downright funny look at society around us.
