About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Superfreakonomics by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven Levitt, read by Stephen J. Dubner.

Steven Levitt, the original rogue economist, and Stephen Dubner have been working hard, uncovering the hidden side of even more controversial subjects, from charity to terrorism and prostitution. And with their inimitable style and wit, they will take us on another even more gripping journey of discovery.

Superfreakonomics will once again transform the way we look at the world.

Think you know something? Might be worth checking.

Fantastic book just like its predecessor. Should be compulsory reading/ listening. Great for changing perspectives and told with just enough humour to make it palatable, but not so much as to make it seem flippant or disingenuous.

An Excellent sequel

This sequel has more of what I loved from the first book. However, this recording does suffer from several technical glitches at around the midway point, which is a shame.

My second read of the year, if you've read the original it's well worth the read!

It's not super, it's not freaky

Don't be fooled by the title; this is economics, pure and simple - perhaps with a dash of quirk and philosophy added into the mix. Don't misunderstand, their approach is different - but that is just a way to give the driest of subjects a bit of flavour. It's worth a listen but it's perhaps less interesting than their original - it's a reworking of the same process so offers few surprises. It doesn't break new ground unlike its predecessor - but it does retain one great advantage: It helps one to understand economics in laymans terms - something that academics deliberately avoid
