This is a bizarre book but excellent. I have no idea if his economic theories have any merit but they seem to in this book. He explains how (and perhaps why) teachers cheat for their students on standardized tests. Are sumo wrestlers cheaters too? Read the book and see!
Who pays for honor system bagels? Does your first name dictate your future fate? Did the legalization of abortion cause a huge drop in crime? The answer to these and more in Freakonomics!
I'm going to a book reading with this author on June 28. Stay tuned for more info.
