Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Freaky Theories Don’t Audiobook (Free)

Freedomnomics is all you wanted to know about the world but didn’t know economics could tell you.

As the blockbuster bestseller Freakonomics demonstrated, economics can clarify everything, from why people behave the way they are doing to how government authorities and businesses organize themselves. But will be the basic assumptions and conclusions in Freakonomics accurate? Does the free market usually lead to unintended and unfavorable consequences? Quite the opposite, says John Lott, who retains a PhD in economics..LEARNING MUCH MORE about Freedomnomics: As to why the Free Marketplace Functions and Freaky Theories Don’t

Actually, says Lott, an array of exciting and peculiar case studies prove the simple adage that if something is more costly, people can do less of it. And, inside a refutation of Freakonomics’ most controversial idea, Lott shows why legalized abortion network marketing leads to family breakdown, that leads to more crime.

Increasing its rigorous economic analysis even further to our political and criminal justice systems, Freedomnomics unveils:

-How the free market creates incentives for people to behave honestly

-How political campaign restrictions keep incumbents in power

-Why affirmative action in police departments leads to higher crime rates

-How women’s suffrage resulted in a massive increase in how big is government

-Why women are more conservative when they get wedded and more liberal when they get divorced

-How secret ballots reduce voter participation

-Why state-owned companies and government agencies are more likely to activate in unfair predation than are private firms

Entertaining, persuasive, and predicated on dozens of economic research spanning decades, Freedomnomics not merely shows how free markets actually work but proves that, when it comes to promoting success and economic justice, nothing at all works better.
