Freakonomics

Just completed the book "Freakonomics" by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. I first came to know about this book in a review by WSJ. From review, I was fascinated by the subject of this book. The economist (Levitt) tries to solve some of rather unique questions and try to co-relate them. Examples: Do abortions brought down the crime rate?; Do real estate agents represent your best interest? Does parent influence the childs socio-economic status? or not? How does the naming a child and socio-economy related?

It's rather an easy to read. Highly recommended.
