Jim's Review
🐛
This is the book that proves economics isn't just about boring charts and GDP numbers. It's about asking weird questions and finding even weirder answers. Why do drug dealers live with their moms? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Levitt and Dubner turned economics into a page-turner. Groovy stuff.
