Title: Don't expect too much
Product review: To some this book was a revelation. I hope they will read a real book on these topics. I found hype. You have to admire a book where one author begins each chapter with a blurb about how the other is a genius.Sample revelations:"Drug dealers live with their mothers because they don't make enough money"..actual evidence presented is that bottom (4th) layer doesn't..the top 2 layers make $100 to $500K which is not bad."Sumo wrestlers cheat" evidently those who are desperate to win tend to beat those to whom the match is meaningless. What a surprise."Crime dropped due to increase in abortions after Roe v. Wade" Wonderfully controversial assertion based on no real evidence. Sold the book though. More police and more jail-time did it.And so on..Second half of the book descends into meandering presentations since they ran out of cutesy stuff.My fear is that this character really is a respected economist.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
