About this audiobook
Two superstars revolutionizing economics provide breakthrough ideas for taking on big problems.--The authors embed themselves in the world to try and solve difficult problems, such as the gap between rich and poor students and the violence plaguing inner-city schools. Their experiments show how economic incentives can change outcomes. Their results will change the way people both think and act on problems, and force people to rely upon the evidence of what really works.
