More about Steven Levitt: Steven D. Levitt is the William B. Ogden Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, where he directs the Becker Center on Chicago Price Theory. In 2004, Levitt was awarded the John Bates Clark Medal, awarded to the most influential economist under the age of 40. In 2006, he was named one of TIME magazine's "100 People Who Shape Our World."

Co-authored with journalist Stephen J. Dubner, Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything was a worldwide sensation, examining questions such as "What do school teachers and sumo wrestlers have in common?," "Which is more dangerous: a gun or a swimming pool?," and "How is the Ku Klux Klan like a group of real estate agents?" The book hit the bestseller lists on its first day in print and continues to be phenomenally popular.

Levitt's appearance will come a few weeks after the release of his new book, SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance.
