STEVEN D. LEVITT, AUTHOR OF
SUPERFREAKONOMICS . . .
One of Time Magazine’s “100 People Who Shape Our World,” Steven D. Levitt shares
his findings at this year’s 30th Annual University of Nevada, Reno Foundation Banquet
Steven D. Levitt is determined to show us a new way of looking at the modern world. Levitt’s book
FREAKONOMICS spent two years on the New York Times best-seller list and initiated a cultural
revolution. The illustrated edition of SUPERFREAKONOMICS uses an assortment of visuals to
communicate bold new ideas to his devoted readers. The feature-length FREAKONOMICS
documentary is noted by Variety as “a revolutionary trip into complex, innovative ideas and altered
perspectives.” A self-proclaimed intuitionist and Midwestern father of four, Levitt sets his sights on
finding real life stories and, unlike any other economist, devises new ways to measure their effects
on our ever-changing world.
