A Burger a Day

Stephen Dubner
“Is the host of Freakonomics Radio, co-host of No Stupid Questions, and co-author of the Freakonomics books, that have won many awards and sold millions of copies around the world. He is not a typical economist. He studies the riddles of everyday life — from cheating and crime to parenting and sports — and reaches conclusions that turn conventional wisdom on its head. He explores things you always thought you knew (but didn’t) and things you never thought you wanted to know (but do).

Freakonomics
“Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, they show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives — how people get what they want or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.

First published in the U.S. in 2005, Freakonomics went on to sell more than 4 million copies around the world, in 35 languages. It also inspired a follow-up book, SuperFreakonomics; a high-profile documentary film; a radio program; and an award-winning blog, which has been called “the most readable economics blog in the universe.”
