In this entertaining lecture, Steven Levitt, professor of economics at the University of Chicago and bestselling author of Freakonomics, ponders, among other things, why businesses never follow his consultative advice, how to get reliable results when studying altruism, and how he came to hire a prostitute to present a lecture to his students.
