Freakonomics

Crit

Entertaining in a lo-cal sort of way, but interesting mainly for showing a new way to approach turning a pop nonfiction book into a quasi-documentary. Segments treat topics presumably in Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner's book--the socioeconomics of "black" names, cheating in sumo, academic achievement vis-à-vis bribery, abortion vis-à-vis crime--without really teaching me much but making me think it'd be a pretty cool book to read. So, a pretty good commercial, I guess.
