Think Like a Freak, the newest book from authors Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, is scheduled for release in March 2014.
Other editions of SuperFreakonomics: paperback, e-book (for Kindle and iPad), Spanish edition, Illustrated Edition
SuperFreakonomics, the highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling Freakonomics, was released on October 20, 2009. Steven Levitt, professor of economics at the University of Chicago, and author Stephen Dubner have again teamed together to apply economic reasoning to a wide range of real-world questions. As with the original Freakonomics, SuperFreakonomics is largely based upon the research of Professor Levitt, who has tackled problems inside and outside the field of economics.
