Freakonomics Documentary



I don't think I've ever been so excited to see a documentary. For those of you who haven't read Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner, the book is centered around "the hidden side of everything". Levitt & Dubner compare extremely different things and illustrate, by way of economics, how they are strikingly similar. For example, sumo wrestlers are compared to school teachers and the KKK is compared to a group of real-estate agents.

Seeing the trailer makes me want to read the book again. This documentary and book will be mandatory for my kids one day.
