The correct answer is C) studying his individual experiences and arriving at a broad generalization. Paul Feldman quit his job as economist and started selling bagels at his former company and other workplaces based in an honor system. He left bagels and doughnuts in boxes and a tray for the money, he would later pick up the leftovers and the money. While he identified factors that increased or decreased the rate of people stealing, he came to the conclusion that most of the people, around 87% are honest and won't steal. Key factors for stealing included big offices, bad weather, holidays and unhappy employees. Key factors for being honest included smaller offices, good weather and a close connection to the person selling the food.

At the end his conclusion was that good people will be good no matter the circumstances and bad people will steal no matter how good the company they work for. Paul F has hope in mankind as his 20 year career selling bagels has demonstrated most people are good.

Studying his individual experiences and arriving at a broad generalization.

Further Explanation:

The title of the book is suggestive of the unconventional nature of the contents of the book. Levitt has included within the book a series of articles that do not follow traditional economic laws or rules. He has explained the most random subjects by the application of economic theory. At the end of the book, the authors try to arrive at a general conclusion, after a thorough examination of individual experiences. The conclusion is that economics is the study of incentives, which are general motivators, which spur and reward reactions held to provide an extremely desire outcome. The book’s chapters explain some very significant day to situations along with historical events on an economic framework, for example, it explores the subject of cheating as applied to teachers and sumo-wrestlers, from information control from the context of Ku Klux Klan, to issues from legalizing abortion, the economics of drug dealing, etc.

The book had several reactions from critics, some of whom hailed it as a refreshing take on economics, to others who have focused more on its sociological framework, rather than being a work of economics. The book undoubtedly digs out unconventional statistics, which somewhat feels unproven, and has hence been called ‘dubious’ by several economists. Some of the economists have felt that the book’s contents are disconnected from economics and have a very strong sociological undertone, going as far as to designate the work as ‘amateur sociology’. Several of their arguments have been contradicted, for example, their take on the reduction of crime after legalized abortion has been widely criticized.
