Ezra Klein - The Shoddy Statistics of Super Freakonomics
But before people begin believing that the problem with Super Freakonomics is that it annoys environmentalists, let's be clear: The problem with Super Freakonomics is it prefers an interesting story to an accurate one. This is evident from the very first story on the very first page of the book.As someone that deals in numbers for a living, books like this piss me off more than most people. Is nice to see Ezra perform a lovely job of sweeping up the bullshit.
