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.

This rocks, I’ve read his book and it’s really cool. Kudos to Prosper for getting him. I hope he sticks around for some of the informal stuff, though he may get mobbed..
That decides it: I’m definitely going to Prosper Days.
I’m a huge fan of the book and wish I could be there.
