I have to agree with JB,, Freakonomics is one of the best science/maths books I’ve read in a long time and makes you think too, always the sign of a good book.

JB,
yup even though some of the points that Levitt puts forth sound controversial, he does back it up with some solid research.

Sure Dinsan. Will write a review once i finish the book.

Freakonomics is a fantastic book.

Lots of people though find issue with what Levitt has to say, in particular his association of abortion and crime. But to me, he makes a lot of sense.

On the other hand, I think very little of Jack Welsh.
