Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-24 00:00:00 Steven Edwards I read it. Not exciting, not groundbreaking...just some ideas put together. I didn't quite like this one...

Review # 2 was written on 2018-10-23 00:00:00 Darian Duca This is a book that should be of interest to both Economists and non-economists. It has a Freakonomics pedigree, but reads more like a newspaper or a blog. The benefit of this format is that the authors are able to review a wide variety of economic studies. The downside is there isn't any real thesis. The book is basically just: "here are summaries of some interesting economic research". Nevertheless, the book is non-technical, informative, and a fairly fun read. Most of the book examines studies of departures from neoclassical and rational-agent models.
