Freakonomics - A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven Levitt
Now this book is annoyingly far too easy to read. In looking at concealed links and effects of many everyday actions and beliefs the authors come up with some fascinating and interesting facts and trends that challenge many commonly held assumptions. Are drug dealers rich? Does it matter if your child goes to a 'school of choice'? Do police initiatives really cut crime? Entertaining and informative? Yes - but much more 'Informative' bias please!
