Dr. Steven Levitt: Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago and #1 NYT Best-selling Co-author of "Freakonomics" (Ep. 67)

Dr. Steven Levitt

Dr. Steven Levitt is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago, host of the podcast “People I Mostly Admire,” and a #1 NYT best-selling co-author of the book Freakonomics. Have you ever heard or asked a strange question that connects seemingly unrelated topics? Like what do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? Well, in the bestselling book Freakonomics, Dr. Levitt and Stephen Dubner explore the hidden side of everything. They take old economics and show us how interesting and peculiar all of the puzzle pieces that make up the field of economics can really be. Fewer textbooks and numbers, and more correlation and real-world application in ways you never would have thought of! Dr. Steven Levitt is changing the way we see economics, and showing us not to judge something at first glance.
