Freak - Freakonomics � unsettling economics

Michael Perelman points is to "a delightful slam" at Steven Levitt’s hit book Freakonomics. by Ariel Rubinstein, who is himself an economist who has done prominent research about bargaining. I enjoyed Freakonomics, but Rubinstein gives it a very sharp poke with a stick, and he puts his finger on a number of things that I had vaguely disliked about the book, as well as much else. It's a short entertaining read.
