Stephen Dubner, co-auther of Freakonomics, will be the keynote speaker at Prosper Days this year.
Described as a melding of pop culture and economics with more than 3 million copies sold worldwide. It is a collection of economic articles written by Levitt and then translated into prose meant for a wider audience.
The range of the articles is startling… from demonstrating the existence of cheating in Sumo to the reduced crime because of legalized abortion.
