Super Freakonomics by Stephen J. Dubner
Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance
A lively collection of short, data-driven essays that use economics-style thinking and unconventional statistical sleuthing to expose surprising incentives behind everyday and global phenomena; the authors challenge conventional wisdom on topics from crime and health to environmental policy, offer provocative counterintuitive explanations and policy proposals (including discussion of geoengineering and other controversial fixes), and emphasize how careful data analysis can overturn widely held assumptions.
