About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Assume nothing, question everything.
This is the message at the heart of Freakonomics, Levitt and Dubner's rule-breaking, iconoclastic book about crack dealers, cheating teachers and bizarre baby names that turned everyone's view of the world upside-down and became an international multi-million-copy-selling phenomenon.

very informative
it's a very good collection of fewer known stories which normally don't catch everybody's eyes ears.definetly opened my mind about how even the smallest insignificant thing might influence economic situations .

Depth of analysis
Depth of analysis is brilliant. At the same time, it proved that the Tamil proverb "Yanaikkum adi sarukkum" is correct ie., "Even elephants may skid" in KKK episode. Learnt how to take into account various aspects of an issue and not go by preconceived notion or not even what an expert (so called) say.

Economics away from Economics
The book encourages listeners to look at things we a new perspective. The authors have moved away from the stereotypical ways of looking at economics and showcased topics that are infrequent in terms of economics. Go ahead and have a listen

Interesting revelations
The concept and research work was exceptional but some parts were too drab and seemed never ending

Can be made much better
Voice can have more modulation. sounds a bit monotonous. Storyline is pretty good. unconventional plot.

It's different.
intriguing problems, intriguing thinking and intriguing solutions! I must say data science put to a good use in identification of real reasons (if those were? Although, author's compelling argument make you think they are right 🙂)
