I just picked up a copy of ‘Freakanomics’ from the library and managed to finish chapter 1 on the train this morning. What a cool book. So far i’ve learned that society as a whole are a bunch of cheaters. The part I like the most about this book is the authors use of statistics to prove a point. I bet you didn’t know your school teachers were cheating in order to raise their students test scores did you? And that Sumo wrestling is pretty much a rigged sport. One only has to know where and how to look at the statistics in order to deduce what is really happening. If only it were that easy… I feel pretty naive and it’s only been one chapter. I can’t help to feel if I read closely enough, i’ll be enlightened and better prepared to spot a scam when I see one. Honestly, I can’t wait to read more.
