Excellent audio CD. Fascinating subject matter. For anyone interested in social economics, statistics, or just learning the truth behind common misconceptions e.g. more books in a home make children smarter.

What a fascinating book! The author has an amazing ability to look at long established âfactsâ in a completely new way, overthrowing commonly accepted wisdom, and finding the real causes behind changes in our society. I highly recommend this to everyone. It is short, to the point, and - regardless of whether you agree with his conclusions or not - it will make you think.

One of the authors read this audiobook. Has some interesting chapters on incentives and causes of crime from an economic point of view - including cheating on standardized tests, asymmetric information when using a real estate agent, causes of increases/declines in crime waves, and reasons why thugs start gang wars. Stimulating book, quick read.
