Review of Freakonomics, Part Three: In which I conclude my review and tell Dr. Steve what he should do next

To conclude: the book is interesting and fun, but not as fantastically groundbreaking as you've been told.  Although I don't imagine he is reading, I do have some advice to Dr. Steve about what he, "The most brilliant young economist in America," should do next: catch terrorists.

According to Dr. Steve (see the page immediately preceding chapter one), "[G]iven the right data, I have little doubt that I could figure out . . . [how] to put together a set of tools that let us catch terrorists."

Steve, this book is interesting and worthy. But please, if you really want to do something groundbreaking, take up your own challenge.
