Review of 'Freakonomics - A Rogue Economist Explores The Hidden Side Of Everything, Revised and Expanded Edition' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I started off really liking this and found it very thought provoking. However it gets bogged down in a couple of significant but overlong explorations on education and names and this tends to lose the 'punchiness' of the initial approach. Good to make you think in different ways and to stress the need for caution in any analysis, but left me feeling it could have had much greater scope.
