Oh, the results don't say what my woke ideology mandates so it must be RACIST take. Thanks for the insightful review.

The only chapter that even broaches race is the one that talks about Moslem mothers that are pregnant during Ramadan and the statistical effect on health of the child. And that's technically religion, not race. The whole idea that some topics, if some races are more effected than others, cannot be discussed is, frankly, truly racist and nauseating. If we can't discuss those topics, how can they ever be addressed?

IF you have a valid point to make, you haven't served it well here! These authors and the Freakonomics brand have earned a lot of respect for popularizing uncommon insight about important topics. Among people here with any familiarity, there is a huge credibility gap between these books and Joe Blow who wants to siphon off Freakonomics fame to launch his own podcast. <--(btw, sorry if this is your podcast...)

If you think the podcasts' criticisms are valid and you want open-minded people to hear them, you should at least give one well-explained example, because the cultural moment has truly passed for unsupported blanket accusations of racism.

Good read for anyone who appreciates critical thinking. Really liked the chapter on Stratospheric Aerosol Injection.

This book is garbage. The "studies" in it are dubious. And the conclusion it draws are sometimes racist. There is a podcast called if books could kill that breaks down. It the first episode actually. Don't waste your money.
I believe you have convinced me to buy it.

Hyperbolic accusations like this typically indicate the opposite is true so you've sold me on it. Thanks!

Dubner has a podcast also called Freakonomics which is quite entertaining also. Not terribly frequent but there is a large back catalog. 2.3 million subscribers.

My criticism is actually about the original freakanomics book. My mistake. It's the same authors though so I imagine it has similar issues.

I misread the title. I thought it was the original book called freakanomics. There is racist stuff in there, but I don't think folks who responded to me actually want to have a discussion about it. I'll just say that you should delve into the studies and claims the book makes. You will see how it unravels pretty easily
