DESCRIPTION

Subtitle: Why the Free Market Works and Freaky Theories Don’t

As the blockbuster bestseller Freakonomics demonstrated, economics can explain everything, from why people behave the way they do to how governments and businesses organize themselves. But are the basic assumptions and conclusions in Freakonomics true? Does the free market usually lead to unintended and negative consequences? Quite the opposite, says John Lott, who holds a Ph.D. in economics.

In fact, says Lott, a wide range of fascinating and peculiar case studies prove the simple adage that if something is more costly, people will do less of it. And, in a refutation of Freakonomics’ most controversial idea, Lott shows why legalized abortion leads to family breakdown, which leads to more crime.



REVIEWS

“Brian Emerson delivers this work as an enthusiastic and inspired economics professor might. It is lively and paced at a smooth tempo. Emerson transports listeners to the classroom and provides meaty ideas to ponder. His voice gives the work both the authority and vision the author intended. Many examples are provided, along with the background information that makes them accessible. Freedomnomics is an easy listen as well as an interesting ideology.”—AudioFile

“Lott demonstrates how free market principles produce the greatest success....This book is essential to those who seek to understand liberty.”—Edwin Meese III, former U.S. attorney general under President Reagan

“Truly, this is a perspective that is enlightening and worthy of presentation....John Lott has meaningfully contributed to the necessary vigilance toward the preservation of freedom with the tales of his professional journey.”—John Raisian, Director and Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University



JOHN R. LOTT, JR., received his Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 1984. He has held positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice.
