Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of a landmark book, this curated collection from the most engaging economics blog offers a perfect solution for fans of the authors. Surprising, erudite, and witty, it showcases the brilliance that has made the authors an international sensation, with over 7 million books sold and 150 million podcast downloads. Since the original book's release, the authors have maintained a blog with a more casual and personal tone, posing offbeat questions like why flight attendants don’t receive tips, how a terrorist might plan an attack, and why KFC often runs out of fried chicken. Over the past decade, they have published more than 8,000 blog posts, many of which they admit were not their best work. However, they have carefully selected the finest entries for this collection. Readers will explore topics such as the nature of lies, effective strategies to reduce gun deaths, the controversial idea of a sex tax, and the humorous conclusion that robbing a bank is not worth the effort. Additionally, insights into the authors’ own interests, including gambling, golf, and the debate over the penny, add a personal touch to the collection.
