The Wall Street Journal said, “If Indiana Jones were an economist, he’d be Steven Levitt.” Steve discusses the “Freakonomics of Accountability.” If anyone can demand, measure and prove accountability , it’s this brilliant but uncomplicated man who uses simple questions to reach startling conclusions. He has shown other economists just how well their tools can make sense of the real world. A full professor in the University of Chicago’s economics department, what interests Levitt most is cheating, corruption and crime.
