A Fascinating Read

I recognize that I am late (although I have been reading snippets for a few years), but Freakonomics makes complex ideas less so while amping up intrigue.  I love it more now reading start to finish.

If economics is a science primarily concerned with incentives, it is also–fortunately–a science with statistical tools to measure how people respond to those incentives.  All you need are some data.

That surely makes a lot of easy sense.  These guys are officially added to my set of people that if seated at a table with the rest, could change everything.  If you haven’t read it, pick it up.  If you have, try again.
