As we start talking about economic thinking, we will refer to Freakonomics many times in readings, video clips, and more! The economics they present is interesting and it'll make you think. If you're interested in the Freaky approach to things, there's a lot more of it out there that we won't cover in class. None of this is required reading but if you're interested, the links below will help you!
