These are only but a few of everyday situations which Steven D. Levitt and the journalist Stephen J. Dubner illustrate in the books of the bestselling Freakonomics series. In his lecture Steven...

An additional but distinct case is the argument that there is a need to develop the scientific and technical knowledge...
