Freakonomics

I just finished a book called Freakonomics. It was a rather interesting book. It’s written by a young economist (And another journalist bloke). He likes to look into big sets of data and extract interesting facts. He then gives interesting answers like “Do sumo wrestlers cheat?” or “What is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool?”. I didn’t like the fact that this guy is very much in love with himself (Before every chapter in this book there’s a short story from some newspaper saying how great he is. In his own book!). And sometimes he is not convincing. But all in all it’s a good book. Thanks Opher for the recommendation!
