Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights:#1 We started a blog, which was called Freakonomics. com. It offered a blogging function. I had never heard of a blog, much less written one, but Levitt was unconvinced. Let’s just give it a try, Dubner said.#2 The blog was a way for the authors to express their opinions about the world, and it has been a happy home for that. The blog writing is more casual and personal than book writing, and the authors enjoy writing it.#3 We have collected the best posts from the blog and arranged them into chapters that make sense as a book. You will learn more than you ever wanted to know about our personal obsessions like golf, gambling, and the dreaded penny.
