Book Review: Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

Jan 14, 2008 05:43


This book was the sort I enjoy reading. It gives a different slant on the World and takes ideas through to some conclusion. Having said that the first chapter particuarly appealed (statistical analysis and patterns within numbers) while the rest wasn't quite like that. However, there were paragraphs within the text that I thought would be particularly helpful in my field of work (causality, correlation and regression) and I must remember what they say in order to use them. I will of course have to add Gladwell's Tipping Point to my Wish List having had previous journallers who have read this mention it.
