Steven D. Levitt is an economist. Stephen J. Dubner is a writer. They co-authored Freakonomics, a book about cheating teachers, bizarre baby names, self-dealing Realtors, and crack-selling mama’s boys. They figured it would sell about 80 copies. Instead, it has sold 4 million, in 35 languages. Then they wrote SuperFreakonomics. It also became a worldwide best-seller. A lot of other stuff happened, too. A blog. A movie. A radio show. Jon Stewart and Beauty and the Geek. A pair of pants! Now, at long last, all things Freakonomics are here in one place. Welcome to the new Freakonomics.com.
