Sobre este artículo
A tight, and unmarked First Edition. " Why do educated women get fewer responses on online dating websites? Is buying local food economically efficient? Does bribing kids improve their performance on school tests? Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, the quirky geniuses behind Freakonomics, SuperFreakonomics and Think Like a Freak, are back at it. For the last ten years, they've used the tools of economics to answer some of our most unanswerable questions on Freakonomics. Here, for the first time, the very best of their more than 8,000 posts are together in a single place. We learn why it's so hard to predict the Kentucky Derby, why babies born in summer tend to score lower on standardized tests, and why rich people tend to be happier than poor people, but rich countries are no happier than poor ones. When to Rob a Bank showcases the brilliance that has made Levitt and Dubner an international sensation, and the eloquence and wit that has always made them such a joy to read. From the Back Cover: Surprising and erudite, eloquent and witty, When to Rob a Bank demonstrates the brilliance that has made the Freakonomics guys an international sensation, with more than 7 million books sold in 40 languages, and 200 million downloads of their Freakonomics Radio podcast. When to Rob a Bank is Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner's curated collection from the most readable economics blog in the universe. Drawn from 10 years of entries on Freakonomics, where they employ a style that is more casual, more personal, and more outlandish than in their books, they answer such questions as: Why don't flight attendants get tipped? If you were a terrorist, how would you attack? And why does KFC always run out of fried chicken? You'll discover: What people lie about, and why The best way to cut gun deaths Why it might be time for a sex tax, And yes, when to rob a bank (Short answer: never; the R.O.I. is terrible) You'll also learn a great deal about Levitt and Dubner's quirks and passions, from gambling and golf to backgammon and the abolition of the penny."
