Whip-smart and a great read - will buy for friends
Just finished reading this, it was a fun read!I've read Freakonomics and the Malcolm Gladwell books, etc. This is in the same vein but taught me something new about economics - how incentives shape our world. The author writes in an easy conversational tone, and I've come away with more than just some great dinner party anecdotes (though I have those too); it was a hopeful and different take on some of the greatest global issues, and the role of incentives in affecting change.Overall, a whole bunch of excellent yarns, big concepts captured concisely (have you ever thought long and hard about what a billion is?), and fresh insights and perspectives. Incisive reading that is going to make my Christmas shopping list very straightforward!

Accessible and thought-provoking
This was a great read. Conversational and light-hearted enough to be accessible, but with enough substance to make you think. Definitely recommended!

Interesante lectura
En algunas partes fue poco aburrido, es decir, pudo haber omitido algunas explicaciones y haber sido más concreto en la materia.Es interesante como cultura general, sin embargo esperaba más del tema.

Think about cause & Effect!
I enjoyed this book because it made me think, it was quite humorous and made me laugh several times. It was easy to read, and had a positive attitude to the future of the human race.I would only recommend it to serious thinkers!
