Freakonomics!

As a part of an internal programme in office, we had to read a book and then donate it to the library. I chose Freakonomics, for the sheer reason of having bought it a year before and not laid my hands on it since.

To the uninitiated, Freakonomics uses tools of economics that interpret real life data to address day to day questions like ‘what makes a perfect parent’ or ‘Why crack dealers live with their mothers’ or ‘whose side the real estate agents are really on’.

I went down to the bookstore to pick up a copy to donate to the library and found two different publications selling the same paperback version for two different prices. I wonder what the authors of Freakonomics would say about this!
