Stephen J. Dubner is an award-winning author, journalist, and radio and TV personality. He quit his first career--as an almost rock star--to become a writer. He has since taught English at Columbia, worked for The New York Times, and published three non-Freakonomics books.

Reviews

Criticizing Freakonomics would be like criticizing a hot fudge sundae." -- Wall Street Journal"The guy is interesting!" -- Washington Post Book World"The funkiest study of statistical mechanics ever by a world-renowned economist... Eye-opening and sometimes eye-popping" -- Entertainment Weekly"Steven Levitt has the most interesting mind in America... Prepare to be dazzled." -- Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink and The Tipping Point"Principles of economics are used to examine daily life in this fun read." -- People: Great Reads"Levitt dissects complex real-world phenomena, e.g. baby-naming patterns and Sumo wrestling, with an economist's laser." -- San Diego Union-Tribune"Levitt is a number cruncher extraordinaire." -- Philadelphia Daily News"Levitt is one of the most notorious economists of our age." -- Financial Times"Hard to resist." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Freakonomics is politically incorrect in the best, most essential way....
