Freakonomics by Stephen J. Dubner, Steven Levitt (2005, Hardcover)

Most economic books are written in a way that they are best used to combat insomnia.

Freakonomics is completely different, in fact it is downright interesting. My main purpose for getting it was the study on Realtors and commissions. As a real estate investor I am always looking to expand my knowledge. This part in and of itself is fascinating and proved true what I have always theorized about Realtors (Thank you Stephen J Dubner. However that particular part was so interesting that I felt compelled to read the rest.

One of the most resfreshing things about this book is that it does not have a political end to its conclusions so the studies seem to be clean and unbiased. I am so tired of the typical study that is biased to the right or left and is trying to make a politcal statement rather than establish fact based off of data. You will find no agenda making here just raw data establishing facts and conclusions that are so interesting that you won't put it down until you are done.
