Bill Doughty reviews Freakonomics on the Navy Reads blog. “I would not recommend Freakonomics to anyone who knows exactly how the world works,” he writes. “Don’t read it if you already have the answers to all of life’s questions. It’s not for people who are easily offended, either. However, for the rest of us, read on.”
