Superfreakonomics
by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven Levitt, 2009

I know I’m super late to the party on this one, so there’s not much to say. Interesting as always, but by this point, I’ve heard most of their arguments in other contexts outside of the book (mostly blogs). The part about the first documented case of monkey prostitution at the end was very funny. I’m surprised I haven’t seen more progress on geo-engineering to fight global warming in the last 7 years.

I’ll just point out that this was the first book I listened to on audio loan from the library via my phone. The Monroe County Public Library allows you to rent audiobooks through the apps Overdrive and hoopla. Useful for when you want to listen to an audiobook but don’t have a CD player.
