Title: Not really about economics
Product review: I resisted reading this book for awhile because I thought it was more about Economics, which sounded pretty dull. It is actually about applying the tools of Economics to a variety of topics, esp social questions. Did legalized abortion result in a drop in crime 20 years later? Does having an "ethnic" name result in less success in life? The book is very anecdotal and easy to read. I blasted through it in less than a week and I never read more than a hour at a time. My only complaint is that it really doesn't have much of a theme - just a collection of case studis or examples.Recommend for light reading - lighter than Blink or Tipping Point, for ex.
