Title: Not So Freaky
Product review: As the author promises in the introduction, this is really not a book about economics. It is a stimulating and interesting investigation of root causes of certain human behavior that collectively effects, even creates not only economic but political trends as well. Some of the topics and chapters seem unrelated and there is no clear theme to the book, but that really does not diminish the readability.I was really turned off by the countless excerpts taken from various reviews emphasizing the genius of the author(s), sprinkled all through the book. What was the purpose?True to the prevalent American academic approach to most topics of scholarly interest, the obsessive quantification of any phenomena, the authors take and quantify even the most mundane aspects of human behavior. There are interesting results; few meaningful, some questionable, many redundant, but still makes amusing reading.
