Review of 'When to Rob a Bank: ...And 131 More Warped Suggestions and Well-Intended Rants' on 'Goodreads'

I bought this on sale on Amazon and I'm really sorry I did. I vaguely remember at least somewhat enjoying Freakonomics, but this is a hot mess of disorganized blogorrhea that accomplished nothing except making me angry. There's little to no actual data or in-depth analysis, just a bunch of off-the-cuff ruminations that range from laughably ill-conceived to dangerously bad. This is a book of Levitt & Dubner's personal opinions, which are on the whole myopic, right-wing and self-congratulatory. Wish they'd spend more time thoughtfully examining their own biases and less time trying to be hilariously offensive rogues.
