FREAKONOMICS: A ROGUE ECONOMIST EXPLORES THE HIDEN SIDE OF EVERYTHING    (Hardcover) by Steven D. Levitt (Author), Stephen J. Dubner (Author)  ISBN-10: 0061234001   ISBN-13: 978-0061234002  Rating

Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? How did the legalization of abortion affect the rate of violent crime?

These may not sound like typical questions for an econo-mist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the riddles of everyday life—from cheating and crime to sports and child-rearing—and whose conclusions turn conventional wisdom on its head.

Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. They usually begin with a mountain of data and a simple question. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: freakonomics.

RICH DAD, POOR DAD: WHAT THE RICH TEACH THEIR KIDS ABOUT MONEY--THAT THE POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS DO NOT!: by Robert Kiyosaki. ISBN-10: 0446677450  ISBN-13: 978-0446677455  Rating:     THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THE  RICH DAD, POOR DAD SERIES

Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them").
