Freakonomics
Freakonomics, by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, might be one of the best economics / scientific method, explore the world around us books that I’ve read in a long time. It’s got 4 star reviews on Amazon.com, and the authors have their own blog. There’s nothing more that I can say except that this book is a must read book. Just buy it.
If you want to read about how legalized abortion cut crime rates, on the co-dependent cheating of sumo wrestlers across win-lose lines and teams, or about why selling crack really isn’t that profitable, this is the book for you. You who ask why until a reasonable explanation is found.
