Freakonomics Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is largely shaped by its engaging content, particularly the contributions of Steven Levitt, which are consistently praised for their intelligence and entertainment value. However, there is a noticeable sentiment that the overall experience falls short compared to the original books, with some customers expressing a desire for more substantial articles and a greater presence from Levitt. This indicates a mixed reception, where while the content is appreciated, there are concerns regarding its depth and length, suggesting potential areas for improvement in content development and audience engagement strategies.

Not as good as the books, but still entertaining, the Freakonomics blog at the NYTimes offers some little tidbits and insights into the phenomena of our times, in behavioral economic terms. Unfortunately there isn't enough of a Steven Levitt presence and the articles are too short for me to pay attention for long.

Steven Levitt is great
September 7, 2007

Steven Levitt is great - I'm not a huge Stephen Dubner fan, but Steven Levitt, the UChicago behavioral economist is consistently smart and entertaining.
