Freakonomics Teaching Resources

RESOURCES
Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner‘s Freakonomics series is a rare mix of revolutionary ideas and wonderful writing. Complex issues and statistics are carefully—but straightforwardly—explained to make each point clear. Tackling current social questions that students will enjoy debating, the books demonstrate how to think and to write analytically—and how to examine issues from a variety of perspectives.
Adopted as a freshman common book at many colleges—including Virginia Commonwealth and Appalachian State University—the books have found a place in courses on economics, qualitative analysis, statistics, sociology, psychology, composition, and rhetoric.
