Freakonomics

Freakonomics
by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
I was looking forward to reading this book for quite a while. Several of my co-workers read it and were all very impressed. Then, it was on the front page of Amazon for what seemed like forever. When the Kindle came out, many of the images displayed the cover of Freakonomics.
This was a fairly easy read. It had nice chapter divisions and moved very nicely. I loved learning about how things happened and seeing how the causes might have been much different than we thought. I don't want to spoil the book by discussing too much detail of each of the scenarios which are dealt with in this book.
These two writers have a very interesting understanding of the world. It combines economic principles without all the math. I would encourage anyone who would like to expand their understanding of how the world works to read this book.
