«Freakonomics, summary» in English with a Parallel Translation

"Freakonomics" is a book by economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner that explores the hidden side of everyday life through the lens of economic reasoning. The authors argue that incentives, not morality, drive human behavior, and by analyzing data, surprising patterns emerge. Why did crime rates drop in the 1990s? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Using unconventional questions and statistics, the book reveals unexpected truths and demonstrates that economics is not just about money — it’s a powerful tool for understanding how the world really works.
