Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner - William Morrow, 2005: "As far as attributing his success to luck, I have never heard anyone else as indisputably accomplished attribute his or her success mostly to luck before or since.
