An interesting and refreshing look at several issues from an economist's perspective. How abortion reduces crime, and the cost of sex with a man is much higher than with a woman. Stimulating and entertaining.
Very interesting book and as someone who VERY easily gets bored of statistics and economics this book was a joy to read. I wouldn't take everything in Freakonomics as fact and I will definitely be doing some further reading (I would suggest you do too if you read this book) on topics mentioned in it. In all, I found that this book kept me entertained and I was never bored. It gives a lot of food for thought and I have had a lot of interesting conversations at social gatherings discussing some of the topics in this book. If you want something fun and informative to read I highly suggest this book.
