Review: SuperFreakonomics

by Rheyanne Weaver on November 11, 2009

Superfreakonomics.

Superfreakonomics.

Breathe easy economyphobes, Superfreakonomics is about to make economics a whole lot easier to understand and enjoy. The super-freaky sequel to Freakonomics, written and researched by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, explores a surprisingly fascinating side of economics.

SuperFreakonomics is an extension of Freakonomics, and is wackier and more surprising than the first. After all, what book can talk about prostitutes, drunk walking, killer elephants, polio, seat belts and suicide bombers all under one cover? SuperFreakonomics steals the show and still claims a place on the “economics” shelf.

Though the book doesn’t claim to have all the answers to hidden knowledge, readers will be hoping to hear of a third book, hopefully in less than the four years it took to write and research the second book. Super-Duper Freakonomics anyone?
