Freakonomics tells you why

This is the most interesting Economic book I ever read: Freakonomics - A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner.

This book is not written by Mars Language, there is no complicated equation difficult chart, but it explains lots of daily pheonomenon through an unique and accurate point of view.

There are several interest topics: such as, who is an ideal parent? Does your name matter? Why a wealth gap between black and white, etc. Some study results surprise readers, they are very controversial which lead to attack by other scholars, but at least it gives you a new way to perceive our planet.
