Скачать или смотреть Stephen J. Dubner in Conversation with Budd Mishkin: Freakonomics at 20

Join Stephen J. Dubner, #1 New York Times-bestselling co-author of Freakonomics and host of Freakonomics Radio, for a conversation with Budd Mishkin about cracking the riddles of human behavior using the tools of economics — and the legacy of his and Steven D. Levitt’s megahit book, in celebration of its 20th anniversary.

What do schoolteachers, drug dealers, real estate agents, and sumo wrestlers have in common? Is there a correlation between gun violence and swimming pools? How did an economist and a journalist upend conventional wisdom about just about everyone and everything? Twenty years after Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt published Freakonomics — their runaway bestseller about reading human behavior through the lens of economics — it remains an endlessly fresh, fun, insightful, and sometimes freaky lens on contemporary life.

Why does tipping still exist? Do sports play into global politics? How does a country’s birth rate affect its culture? Find out as Dubner and Mishkin take on the endlessly fascinating questions that Freakonomics continues to raise about who we are, what we do, and where we’re going next.

Recorded Nov 13, 2025 at 92nd Street Y, New York.
