Book Reviews of Freakonomics [Revised and Expanded]: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

Book Review: The Real hidden causes and their effects
Summary: 3 Stars

The book explores the unusual side of economics.

It is fascinating in that it unveils the real causes to various observed phenomenon and for that it is to be highly commended.

Those interested in causes and effects, positively and negatively correlated observations will enjoy reading it.

I regret the labourious and pedestrian writing style. Perhaps the author assumed we were some of the academic products of the Chicago State System? 40 pages would have sufficed!
