This book is so bad. I didn’t make it very far before I put it down. I just couldn’t endure it. Random anecdotal stories from Levitt’s life that are unscientific and pointless, and ideas about improving democracy that seem ill-conceived and thought up by a 2nd grader (paying politicians more to make the job seem more legitimate? Really???!).

If these ideas had robust research to back them up, they would have swayed me, but unfortunately they didn’t. Also you can read all of these on their blog, something I didn’t know before I purchased, so kind of waste of money unless you really want to support the authors.
