Through questions such as whether a swimming pool is more dangerous than a gun, Levitt and Dubner analyse everyday cases linking economics, incentives and human behaviour. With examples and data, they show how certain conclusions contradict conventional wisdom and reveal unexpected relationships in daily life.

A non-fiction work for adult readers curious about economics, sociology and popular culture.
