On Levitt and Freakonomics

An interesting review here (courtesy Greg Menikw). My earlier naive comments here. Excerpt from the above review:
" But Freakonomics is no better a guide to our changing times than "Chaos" was to atmospheric science. The influence of that butterfly's wings has been exaggerated."
The review also mentions other popular economics books like Tim Harford's ""Undercover Economist" but not Heilbronners's "The Worldly Philosophers".
