Title: Refreshing.
Product review: In this short book, Levitt makes use of his economics background to analyze particular sets of social data (California birth records 1960 to present, Chicago Public School test scores, Japanese sumo wrestling outcomes...).Conventional wisdom (good economy = lower crime rates, reading to your kids = better grades, drug dealers make a lot of money...) isn't overturned, but it is kept honest.Shows what can be learned when the right questions are applied to social situations.
