Where to start with Steven D. Levitt
Start with Freakonomics, the first book in Levitt’s popular series of nonfiction works that explore the hidden side of everyday life through economic principles. This book introduces Levitt’s signature approach of using data and incentives to examine topics ranging from cheating in sumo wrestling to the impact of names on life outcomes. Proceed with Superfreakonomics, the sequel that continues the exploration of unconventional questions using economic reasoning. Both books are standalone in their content and do not require prior reading, but they are best read in publication order to follow the progression of Levitt’s ideas as presented in the series.
