Freakonomics

I've read "Freakonomics" by Steven D.Levitt & Stephen J.Dubner.
It is rally interesting book. It is new vision of economic through
the modern life. There are a lot of unusual question in this book.
For example:

• What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common?
  
• Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?
• What makes a Perfect Parent?

At the first time we think what is the relationship between this
questions and economics?
Well, this author tryes to tell about economics by the riddles of
everyday life— from cheating and crime to sports and child-rearing.
The main idea of this book is how to get something that you need,
even if other people need it as well and it is scarce. They look at
the secret side of every day life.
For example, in Chicago there was a law that the government
will give 25,000$ to a schoolteacher whose pupils will pass
exam with the best results.
Actually, it is good motivation to schoolteachers, but unfortunately,
they started to cheating. So they did everything to get something 
that they need.
So it is quite interesting book. It is a new way of looking to economics.
