This wild ride is the sequel to Freakonomics by Steven Levitt (Prof of Economics) and Stephen Dubner (author/journalist).
If your previous perception of Economics involved only the dry "macro" and the tedious "micro" categories, give Levitt and Dubner's books a chance. They don't disappoint.
Superfreakonomics examines real world issues:
Why statistically speaking, it's much safer to drive drunk than it is to walk drunk. (Although, they do suggest calling a cab or designated driver). . .
How a prostitute is like a department store Santa. . .
The real deal on apathy and altruism. . .
How Al Gore is like a volcano. . .
This book is absolutely as enjoyable as the first. They read clearly, easily, and quickly. Bend your mind a bit. . .You'll love it.
