This exciting book has been on my reading list for quite some time. Steven D. Levitt and Stephen Dubner’s Freakonomics will open your eyes to the hidden aspects of all sorts of interactions by teasing out information with careful analysis of data through statistics and logic.

Levitt is considered one of the top Economists in the country, and Dubner has an easy-to-read style of writing which keeps you entertained as well as informed.

Some of the most interesting (and controversial) bits of information Levitt has in the book:

Legalizing abortion was the single most important event in lowering crime rates.
