    Peter Blair Henry received his first lesson in international economics at the age of eight, when his family moved from the Caribbean island of Jamaica to affluent Wilmette, Illinois. Upon arrival in the United States, he wondered why people in his new home seemed to have so much more than people in Jamaica. The elusive answer to the question of why the average standard of living can be so different from one country to another still drives him today as a Professor of Economics in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. Peter began his academic career on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was a wide receiver on the varsity football team and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate in economics. With an intrinsic love of learning and a desire to make the world a better place, he knew that he wanted a career as an economist. He also knew that a firm foundation in mathematics would help him to answer the real-life questions that fueled his passion for economics—a passion that earned him a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University, where he received a B.A. in mathematics.…

    Initially, I was intrigued by the book based on its odd cover, an image of what appears to be a granny smith apple on the outside and an orange on the inside, and I found the contents far more interesting. The “catchphrase” used is “a rogue economist explores the hidden side of everything”, and no other phrase could be more accurate. Steven D. Levitt, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago, proved the various uses for his field that I had never before realized.…
