I listened to the audiobook version of this via Hoopla Digital. It was fun, just as the other books in the series have been.
Incredible, fast, entertaining read. Thinkers like this one occasionall remind me just why I have chosen my profession.Short Synopsis (Q):Putting the Freak in EconomicsIn which the global financial meltdown is entirely ignored in favor of more engaging topics.The perils of walking drunk…The unlikely...
Really short and kind of unfocused but still an interesting book.
A case of a movie being better than the book. Okay, the movie was based on Freakonomics and not this, but still.Honesty, if you are going to write about prostitution, you should look at more than just one city.Still some of it was intersting. Not upset that I either brought or read it.
Some parts a little amusing, most parts ideological bullshit posing as 'objective' science. They should have at least stayed in their own field (microeconomics). Not very credible in topics such as health care or climate change.
