My Review

This book is linked with the post Freakonomics: Three Years Late

From my post:

“The most important thing I realized while reading is that you have to be careful what you do with hard data, and beware the conclusions you accept from others. It’s far too easy for foolish logic to become mainstream on important issues.”

I enjoyed this look at many of our society’s issues through the lens of economics. I also feel really bad for statistics now; they get abused so often, and can’t even defend themselves.
