Summary, etc.: | Levitt and Dubner 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. Here, they set out to explore the hidden side of ... well, everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The truth about real-estate agents. The secrets of the Ku Klux Klan. |
