Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, copyright 2005

The chapter titles alone intrigue:
1. What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? (Cheating!)
2. How is the Ku Klux Klan like a group of real estate agents? (the power of information)
3. Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? (myths about the drug scene and how benefits from perpetrating them)
4. Where have all the criminals gone? (an unexpected side effect of Roe vs. Wade)
5. What makes a perfect parent? (It’s more who you are than what you do!)
6. Perfect Parent, Part II; or Would Roshanda by any other name smell as sweet? (a look at how baby names have little impact on a child’s success or failure)
