Solitaryreflection said Fantastic read A must for every adult. Ohhhhhhh. I loved, loved, loved reading this one. It's just so practical.Actually there is a chapter in the book about, what to look for, when, buying a house. The author says a potential homebuyer, looking up at the new home listings on the Internet, should eliminate the adjectives, such 'fantastic', 'marvelous', 'charming' etc describing the house, neighborhood or some parts of both. I actually used this criteria to select the house that we bought and I have not regretted a bit.I would actually urge readers to buy this book and take time to read through it because i. J Lenni Dorner said More political and sociological than it is financial. Be ready for the financial side of the pro-choice/ pro-life debate. It isn't about morals, religion, or emotion-- it's numbers and data (though the other points are brought up). It will make you wonder if abortion is a costly and violent crime, a crime prevention method, or both.The book proves the value of hiring more police."White" and "Black" races are discussed heavily, there's some mention of Hispanics, and even a sprinkling of Asians. (If any Native American tribes were brought up, I must have missed it.)It's an intelligently written, mostly liberal, book on eco. A Freakon Good Book Truly amazing! The provocative questions resulting in "unusual" conclusions backed by wealth of data makes this a "must" read. I wished these guys had been around when I was forced to suffer through the required econ courses. As a bonus, you can enjoy their great wit and sense of humor as you turn each page. As soon as I finished, I immediately purchased "Super Freakonomics" and was not disappointed. Looking forward to their third book.

Thus the new field of study contained in this book: freakonomics.Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives—how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. Freakonomics establishes this unconventional premise: If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then economics represents how it actually does work. The secrets of the Klu Klux Klan. Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. All it takes is a new way of looking. The inner workings of a crack gang. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the riddles of everyday life—from cheating and crime to sports and child-rearing—and whose conclusions turn conventional wisdom on its head. Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How much do parents really matter? How d
