Author blends economics into everyday live
June 13, 2012
He is a gifted writer, and researcher. Freakonomics
(book) is awesome because it combines economics with
everyday live. For instance, in his book one topic he
write about is cheating such as in teachers cheating in
schools and compares it to sumo wrestlers cheating in
Japan. While many might scratch their heads, wondering
what the two have to do with one anther- he combines
them beautifully. The books are not just for the
economics student, or professor, but for anyone that
likes to think outside the box. I cannot comment much
on the blog - except that the NY times now only allows
10 free articles per month. This is a real bummer since
the Freakonomics blog is on their site.
