Super freakonomics

Facts, stats and scientific research. Lovely anecdotes about the field of microeconomics.

However, due to the great diversity of topics and stories, the book fails to make a clear point…except the we are ofter fooled by our own interpretation.

Excellent reading. It provided me with great new insights on business growth models and how to analyse data. Terms like vanity-data and pseudo-science have made it to my library and I am afraid I’ll have to use the frequently.

Shame on me for not reading the book any earlier.
