Loved, LOVED the first book. This one got similar reviews.
In short, if you like reading about how incentives drive behavior using odd, "freaky" examples if you will, this (and it's predecessor) is for you. Well worth the $2. Thanks OP
And exactly what makes the guy a reliable source of information? From what I could tell, his "exposè" cited other no-name YouTubers and "News Outlets" that are unknown. The one credible article cited was written by Columbia University professors, and their "problem" with the book was, and I quote:
"We and others have noted a discouraging tendency in the Freakonomics body of work to present speculative or even erroneous claims with an air of certainty."
Which, to be fair, is absolutely correct. And it's the entire reason this book is a fun read.
