Freakonomics
A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
Ratings6
Average rating3.8
An interesting and refreshing look at several issues from an economist's perspective. How abortion reduces crime, and the cost of sex with a man is much higher than with a woman. Stimulating and entertaining.
Very interesting book and as someone who VERY easily gets bored of statistics and economics this book was a joy to read. I wouldn't take everything in Freakonomics as fact and I will definitely be doing some further reading (I would suggest you do too if you read this book) on topics mentioned in it. In all, I found that this book kept me entertained and I was never bored. It gives a lot of food for thought and I have had a lot of interesting conversations at social gatherings discussing some of the topics in this book. If you want something fun and informative to read I highly suggest this book.
