Book Log 2010 #54: Super Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner

More of the same from Levitt and Dubner, who turn their quantitative eyes towards a variety of other issues, ranging from the economics of prostitution (echoes of the previous book's section on drug dealers) to global warming. And, once again, it's surprising to see how the data demonstrate the theme of incentives shaping behavior.

I vaguely recall being dissatisfied with the global warming chapter, but I don't recall why. So with that half-baked caveat, feel free to read away.
