Return of the Freakonomists
13th October 2009
This week marks the publication of the second edition of Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. SuperFreaknomics poses yet more questions and offers the usual challenging answers. But have the freakonomists overreached themselves? This review in the Independent suggests that there are limits to the usefulness of the Levitt approach. I will add more reviews to this blog post in the days and weeks ahead. But at least we now know that a prostitute is more likely to have sex with a police officer than to get officially arrested by one…ground-breaking economics.
