I am only a few chapters into this book, and I must say I love it. I majored in Financial and Managerial Economics in college and I am forever intrigued by the world of economics. Its not really a complex book for only economic types. I suggest you head over to your library, check out this book, the audio book, or even download a hacked copy of the e-book. What ever you do read it seems cool.
I found this to be a good review, for anyone that knows me, knows that this book appeals to me by this review alone.
"In an age of too much wishful, faith-based conventional wisdom on the right and left, and too much intellectual endeavor squeezed into pre-fab ideological containers, Freakonomics is politically incorrect in the best, most essential way. Levitt and Dubner suss out all kinds of surprising truths -- sometimes important ones, sometimes merely fascinating ones -- by means of a smart, deep, rigorous, open-minded consideration of facts, with a fearless disegard for whom they might be upsetting. This is bracing fun of the highest order."
