As it happens, feldman’s accidental study provides a window onto a form of cheating that has long stymied academics: white-collar crime. (yes, shorting the bagel man is white-collar crime, writ however small.) it might seem ludicrous to address as large and intractable a problem as white-collar crime through the life of a bagel man. but often a small and simple question can chisel away at the biggest problems. despite all the attention paid to rogue companies like enron, academics know very little about the practicalities of white-collar crime. the reason? there are no good data. a key fact of white-collar crime is that we hear about only the very slim fraction of people who are caught cheating. most embezzlers lead quiet and theoretically happy lives; employees who steal company property are rarely detected. what purpose does the “bagel man” serve in this argument?

The correct answer is:

It´s an example to show the seriousness of cheating.

Paul Feldman, the Bagel Man mentioned in Freakonomics by Levitt and Dubner, is a man who started his own business selling bagels. He started leaving bagels in an office building, next to a box with a hole in the top and a sign requesting clients who took a bagel to leave money in return.

His statistics about how often people stole bagels is used as an example of white collar crime.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
