Tipping Point vs. Freakonomics
Submitted by nick on March 11, 2006 - 17:34.
Malcolm Gladwell has been going back and forth with The Freakonomics Guys about the integration of the Broken Windows theory from The Tipping Point with the Abortion-reduced crime theory in Freakonomics.
Based on Gladwell's argument, I see no discongruence. I present a future unified dust jacket:
If you have not read either of these books, stop what you are doing right now and go buy both of them. Gladwell's storytelling ability is hypnotic, and cathching a glimpse into the way Levitt approaches problem-solving is worth ten times the price of the book.
