Epilogue

In the Epilogue, the authors mention, as they did at the beginning of the book, that there is no unifying theme to Freakonomics. The common thread throughout the book is to thinking differently about situations, such as why people are named certain ways or why people actually want to deal drugs. These are things that I've wondered about at some point, and this book as enlightened me as to why these things happen.

I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to see economics used in a different, unconventional way. Anyway who thinks economics is uninteresting should definitely read this book. It brings the subject into a whole new light.
