Discussion Topic
One
of the few books about economics to hit the New York Times bestseller’s list
was Freakonomics by Levitt and
Dubner. The book was so popular they even made a movie about
it. The specialty of the authors, Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, is
applying economics to unconventional, controversial, or sometimes even
downright bizarre topics. Some praise them for bringing economics to a
wider audience, while others criticize them for not tackling serious issues or
for delving into overly controversial areas.
So, what’s all the fuss
about? Take a look for yourself by viewing some of their videos from
YouTube, including clips from their movie, or take a look at some articles on
their blog. The links are below:

Choose one of the videos
or blog articles that you find most interesting, and share the link with your
classmates. Discuss some of the following issues based on what you have
viewed or read:

What did you find interesting about the
video or article that you found?

or is their stuff "too odd" or "too far out there" to be
useful for this class?
3.
Overall, what is your impression of Levitt
and Dubner? Silly? Interesting? Other?
