The amazing economy - a reckless economist exploring the hidden side of everything

The Amazing Economy - A Maverick Economist explores the hidden side of everything. Author: Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner Translated into Arabic: Mohamed Sherif Cover: Hardcover Number of parts: One Paper: Shamooh Size: 14 × 21 Synopsis: Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do school teachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug traffickers still live with their mothers? How much do parents really care? What is the impact of the "Ro" and "Wade" cases on violent crimes? These questions may not seem like typical questions an economist asks, but Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist; he is a brave scientist more than anything else, studying the material and puzzles of daily life — from cheating and crime to sports and parenting — and his conclusions often turn traditional wisdom upside down. He often starts with a large set of data and a simple question that has never been asked before. He cares about some of these questions like life and death issues, and others with undoubtedly exceptional features. Thus, this book contains a new field of study, which is (The Amazing Economy). Through his compelling stories and indirect deep insights, Levitt and his colleague Stephen J. Dubner show that economics — at its core — is a study of incentives — how people get what they want or need, especially when others want or need the same thing. In their book (The Amazing Economy), the authors explore the hidden side — of everything; the inner workings of a drug gang, the truth about real estate brokers, campaign finance myths, stories of cheating among teachers, and the secrets of the Ku Klux Klan (racial). And here, if ethics represent how we want the world to go, then economics represents how the world actually works. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with stories and puzzles enough to be told at thousands of parties, but (The Amazing Economy) can offer more than that; it redefines the way we look at the modern world in a literal sense.
