Freakonomics

A rogue economist explores the hidden side of everything. You all may have read this or seen it reviewed somewhere. The review I read prompted me to buy it . After reading the introduction I thought I may have made a mistake. I pressed on and found it to be very interesting on several levels. Most of you bloggers here have been or are currently engaged in reasearch of some sort so you may find it boring. I don't do much reasearch proffesionaly so to me the methods used to anylize their subjects was probably the most interesting part of the whole thing. The subjects were interesting also but the comparrisons used were unique and funny ie; your real estate agent and the KKK or School teachers and sumo wrestlers. In the end it validated some of the things I already knew and provoked a little thought on things I never really thought about. I also got a few parrenting tips, that is if we ever have another child, according to this book its to late for Dan.
