Not as amazing as the first one, but tackling more interesting problems. If you listen to the Freakanomics podcast, most of this will be familiar.

Fascinating book, a great listen for a car ride. The section about the environment got a little long winded, but otherwise really interesting!

Segunda entrega del mítico Freakonomics, en el que los autores vuelven a enfrentarse a preguntas complejas y sin solución clara usando de manera astuta e inteligente los datos de que disponen. Es un libro refrescante, polémico y muy inteligente. Recomendable del todo.
