These two authors made a huge splash with their first collaboration - you guessed it, Freakonomics - a book which dissected social issues from an economist's perspective. They expand their reach in this sequel, tackling questions such as:
*Which is more dangerous: driving drunk or walking drunk?
*How can eating a kangaroo help save the planet?
*How effective are car seats?
*Are people naturally selfish or naturally selfless?
Each chapter tackles a different unexpected question - from an economist's perspective. As someone who wouldn't know what to do with money if you threw it at her, I highly recommend this book as a super-interesting, super-readable introduction to the economist mindset.
We will discuss this book in the Flint River Library at 4.00 PM on Thursday, December 1st.
