Crítica: El Club Dante

Interesante, Pearl te invita a descubrir brevemente el infierno de Dante descrito en una rica y compleja realidad: Boston después de la guerra civil. Es ahí donde comienzan a producirse brutales asesinatos y el adjetivo Dantesco toma un peculiar significado.


Si bien, el nexo entre el asesino y Dante se podría mejorar un poco no deja de ser una buena novela, donde los temas coyunturales no pasan desapercibidos: la sociedad, la Ivy League, la mezcla de religión y política vinculados al crimen.
Quizás algún día me anime a comenzar la Commedia del florentino.

Freakonomics

It seems to be a quite awkward title for a book but according to the authors it's the best that summarises the whole content of the book.
Talking about Economics is not an easy task, particularly when you've got to refer to everyday life. Additionally, the deal with everyday falacies, and propose reasonings to overcome these "convetional knowledge" shortages.

Levitt and Dubner do a great job explaning a variety of diffent subjects. They arrive to conclusions after extensive data analysis, thus being more scientific than the average "expert"/fanatic.
For instance, I would point out the superb analysis the have done regarding abortion and crime (Chapter 4). They managed to consider most of the main issues raised by different authors and afterwards they delivered their own conclusions.

Really good. I definitively recommend it!
