Like arguing that the legalization of the abortion made the crime drop 20 years later... It might have helped, but I found it hard to believe. I think that this kind of freakness were meant to create some polemics and help on selling the book. Anyway, the book is really good and there are some other great studies in it, one I found interesting was seeing that the sumo wrestlers and school teachers all cheat. I would also like to know what Levitt thinks of P2P, I think it is good for the publicity of his work, and may help increase the book sellings, I haven't bought the book, but after recommending it to some friends, maybe some buy it. Great job with your blog, I usually enjoy your points of view. Yes some ideas and argumentations, in my opinion, are a bit too freakish.

I also like the way the author thinks and would like to find more about its gist, but got a bit dissapointed about the style and the development of some ideas. In any case, a very interesting book, I`m glad you enjoyed it, and would like to know what Levitt thinks about P2P downloading.
