superfreakin' awesome! steven levitt on his new book superfreakonomics: global cooling, patriotic prostitutes, and why suicide bombers should buy life
steven levitt exploded onto the scene in 2005 w/the original freakonomics tome. levitt & co-author stephen j. dubner had some incredibly interesting theories on crime & it's relation to roe v. wade, cheating, crack dealing, etc.. i read that book in like 2 hours flat! it was so refreshing to see economic theory applied to everyday issues. i cannot wait to pick up the superfreakonomics: global cooling, patriotic prostitutes, and why suicide bombers should buy life.

I'm so happy to know he's coming out with more! I really liked his work with Venkatesh for the drug dealing chapter. I think there was more published on his experience with the gang, but I'm not sure. Maybe I should check the freakonomics blog! Anyway, thanks for the info!
