A review of Superfreakonomics

It's not every week a high-profile economics book hits the market, so I decided to forgo some studying over the weekend to read Superfreakonomics, by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. It's the sequel to Freakonomics, probably the most well-known economics book designed for mass consumption.

This is the Seinfeld of economics books: it truly is a book about nothing. Sure, there are chapters which seem to have a unifying theme. But the book itself does not have a concept behind it.
