Freakonomics

Lies, cheating, and hidden, unexpected truths are the common theme of these stories. The approach of these researchers is to think in different ways and when discussing a Liberal Arts education we brought up the importance of training the mind to think in in different ways. I remember being surprised by some of the information about 'black' names versus 'white' names. I think that the researchers don't have any interest in the results going one way or an other, so I think that they must try and be as fair as possible when presenting their ideas.
