The author likes to imply that he has discovered all sorts of new reasons for things that go bump in the night. No thanks; I'll stick with conventional wisdom. The main reason crime went down is because so many repeat offenders were still locked up. His statistics prove nothing.

Great book, very interesting
Saw the documentary, wanted to dive deeper into the subject. Freakonomics is not any one theory or understanding, but rather a different way of approaching problems, questions, and data in general.
With analyses ranging from how Sumo Wrestlers cheat to why a kid named Loser does better than a kid named Winner, Freakonomics will make you forget that you're learning, and you'll come out of it seeing the world in a totally different way.

The Conventional Wisdom
The conventional wisdom is often wrong. The author (co-author?) makes some interesting points. However, he spends a lot of time demonstrating how the professor arrived at his conclusions - a lot of time. A lot.
Still, I'd recommend the book and I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to read more about this man's theories. But I'd probably fall asleep while he explained why he thinks what he thinks.
Almost exactly like I did in Economics 101 many years ago.
