A book composed of selections from the last several years of posts on the Freakonomics blog There are short chapters on everything from libraries, about which they are wrong, (Look, I've offered as much data on this topic as they did), to gas prices, to prostitution (a Freakonomics staple). I listened to this on audio so I could not view any data that may have been given and, so, it often seemed that either they were not really making their case on a particular topic, or that the readers (Levitt, Dubner, and guests), weren't pointing out what data was presented in the print version. Mostly fun. If you haven't been reading the blog and enjoyed the other Freakonomics titles, then this is the book for you.
