When to Rob a Bank: And 131 More Warped Suggestions and Well-intended Rants | 
“Our worst critics prefer to stay” is, while perhaps not outright uplifting, a wonderfully concise acknowledgement of the paradox that a capitalist democracy inevitably is: a place that is often well worth complaining about, and which allows you to complain as loudly as you wish.
Adding this #Nonfiction #sequel to my #TBR stack for #NFNov. @rsteve388 @Clwojick
The 1st one was so good I had to get the next one!
pickGreat audiobook!!!
so-soA collection of posts from the Freakonomics blog over the years, some of these suggestions & rants were more compelling than others. I wish they had noted the year of the original post, as many were quite dated but others felt like they could have been written yesterday (despite being published in 2015.)
This collection of blog posts from Freakonomics had was more about football than I expected! #fallisbooked
Continuing the city outing with cupcakes. Chris brought Freakanomics. His and hers books, but both of those cupcakes are mine. 😳😁
While browsing B&N (Thursday afternoon is a decent time for that by the way) I found this and thought of my mom who works in a bank. I have no idea what the book is about but the title made me laugh.
so-soA collection of blog posts from your favorite economist/reporter duo. Equal parts thought provoking and sleep inducing. The blog entries, written in the 2001-2010 decade (do we have a name for that?) we're relevant at the time but now seem quite dated. There will still some interesting ideas, but, as they were not researched, often seemed half-baked. I'd recommend this one only if you've devoured their other 3 books and need more.
I'm away from home so for text-only covers I looked through my nook library and took screenshots. I noticed a lot of the text covers I could find were non-fiction so I'm just posting those. #booktober
so-so#happybirthday Stephen Dubner. Dubner, an economist, is one half of the Freakonomics team, and this is their fourth book. I'd read the other three first! As they say themselves, this book contains info that is freely available on their blog. Maybe for this reason some of Dubner and Levitt's ideas seems less developed or researched than those ideas in their first book, which surprised me by opening up economics as a fascinating subject 🤑
