Anyone read Freakonomics? If so what did you think? I like the contrarian attitude of the book - an economist who doesn't know maths! I'm not 100% convinced their arguments are always sound. Having said that it's refreshing to hear/read talented people attempt to break commonly perceived myths from so called experts and commentators.
The book contained some interesting work on poverty and drugs in Chicago. The authors have a blog here. They update the blog almost every day and it has a wide variety of subjects - including comment on UK publications/issues such as the British Medical Journal.
