Read the excerpt from steven d. levitt and stephen j. dubner’s freakonomics.

the incentive scheme that rules sumo is intricate and extraordinarily powerful. each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of his life; how much money he makes, how large an entourage he carries, how much he gets to eat, sleep, and otherwise take advantage of his success. the sixty-six highest-ranked wrestlers in japan, comprising the makuuchi and juryo divisions, make up the sumo elite. a wrestler near the top of this elite pyramid may earn millions and is treated like royalty. any wrestler in the top forty earns at least $170,000 a year. the seventieth-ranked wrestler in japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year. life isn’t very sweet outside the elite. low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors, preparing their meals and cleaning their quarters, and even soaping up their hardest-to-reach body parts. so ranking is everything.
