<p>Freakonomics is on my shelf right now, as well as the shelf of my business partner, who knows more about such things than I do (he did econ at UChicago and just finished his MBA there–youngest student in his class).</p>
<p>Is it an oversimplification? Maybe, in places. Does he assert things which are difficult to prove either way? Probably. Does the way Dubner opens each chapter by brown-nosing Levitt get a little annoying? Definitely.</p>
<p>But was it a good read? Yup. No word on what my AP English teacher would’ve thought.</p>
