Embark on a riveting exploration of human behavior through the lens of economics with Freakonomics, hosted by economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner. This compelling anthology of documentaries delves into the intriguing ways people respond when presented with opportunities to prosper, knowingly or unknowingly. Journey through a series of subjects as diverse and captivating as the potential impact of a person's name on their life's trajectory, the puzzling prevalence of cheating in an honor-centric sport like sumo wrestling, and the unexpected factors that curbed crime rates in the USA from the 1990s onward. The final act of this riveting cinematic voyage plunges into an educational experiment, investigating if monetary incentives can ignite academic improvement among underperforming students. This is a film that challenges the conventional, peels back the layers of the human psyche, and redefines the way we perceive the world around us.
