A reason why "Freakonomics" is a bad title
OK, there are many reasons for this: it doesn’t really tell you what’s in the book, the methods Levitt uses in his economic analyses are not freaky, it just sounds dumb…
But this reason was a new one for me, and funny. Be sure to visit the link to see the little movie.

About me
My name is Dimitrios Diamantaras. I live in Abington, PA, and read too many books but I don’t finish all of them. I also enjoy classical music, especially vocal, dabble in computer software a bit, and think about economics a lot (it’s my job).
Apparently the “onomics” market is becoming more competitive (positive profits draws …). Have you seen Stephen Shmanske’s “Golfonomics”?
No, I haven’t seen this one yet. But Rob spied “Wikinomics” in the bookstore, while I read its review online, practically at the same time. Won’t be buying these (no time to read them).
