Steven Landsburg’s newest book is sort of like “Freakonomics” but written by someone that actually has a degree in economics. You can read an excerpt online.

To be honest, I’ve only read a few random samples of the book so far. I really enjoy what I’ve read (even when I’ve disagreed.)

What really inspired me to post to LJ is to relate that at one point he talks about whether or not computers make a person more productive. He comments, “especially if your screen is so crowded with instant-message windows that you can barely find your solitaire game.”

Buy it on Amazon.com today.

One of the two authors of Freakonomics has a PhD in economics.

I read this book - it's interesting. I don't agree w/ all his math on some items, and I think he leaves out some factors on some items, but the book is fascinating. It's really well-written and it really made me think!
