“The black-white income gap is largely a product of a black-white education gap that could have been observed many years earlier. “Reducing the black-white test score gap,” wrote the authors of one study, “would do more to promote racial equality than any other strategy that commands broad political support.” (Levitt, Dubner) This, along with many others, is an example of a real world problem that Freakonomics, a book about exploration of the hidden side of everything, introduces a solution to. I just finished reading this book and I found it fascination the perspective that these two men had on the subject of economics. While it was a slow book at times, I really enjoyed many of the aspects to it. The ideas were relatable to my life and frighteningly true.
