Steven Levitt on Freakonomics
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.
