Re: What books do I want to read while I vacation?
Ok, fine, I was a little hasty in saying that Freakanomics was one of my favorite books, it was just an econ book I could think of. I think a main point of the book was to simplify a lot of more compicated economics principles, and it accomplished this goal pretty well. It doesn't really go into a lot of detail about how he finds his results which leaves some questions to the accredibility of his findings.
I definitely like books by Dani Rodrick (The New Global Economy and Developing Countries) or Thomas Friedman (Lexus, Nexus and the Olive Tree) more than Freakanomics.
