motivations des agents immobiliers ? Pourquoi les revendeurs de drogue vivent-ils plus longtemps chez leur mère ? L'économie, vue sous cet angle, incongru en apparence, mais qui est celui de la plus sérieuse rationalité des agents, des comportements, des causes et effets, traite de sujets peu conventionnels. Elle a reçu un nom : freakonomics, ou " économie saugrenue ". Elle jette une lumière de biais sur le désordre des événements ; elle met à nu des a priori à prétention de scientificité irréfutable ; elle transforme notre regard sur le monde globalisé, qui nous apparaît, pour finir, moins impénétrable et incompréhensible. 2006.

Moving between their worlds, Christian and Jewish, African-American and white, impoverished and well-to-do, Albom observes how these very different men employ faith similarly in fighting for survival. 2009.Freakonomics: a rogue economist explores the hidden side of everything
