Freakonomics

Author:Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J Dubner

I read this book a while back. Actually it was recommended by our micro economics professor in UNC. Amazing book. Author has done a great job of explaining general phenomenon like why crime went down in 90s or why drug dealers live with there grandmom or what is similarity between comics and KKK... Its amazing how author can take such controversial topics and provide at totally unimaginable explaination and support it with statistically facts...

It is a fun read. Everyone should read it. IT will open ur eyes to some real critical thinking... So enjoy a great read...
