This is a fun book. Not quite as information dense as The Wisdom of Crowds (Tyler Cowen references that work and cites a number of the same studies), it's more accessible to the non-economist.
One thing that I didn't like was that he saved all of the works cited for a section at the end of the book and did not include end or footnotes when citing other works. I hate when authors say, "studies have shown..." What study? When? Conducted by whom? Some studies are definitely more reliable than others.
I would definitely recommend this book, but would recommend The Wisdom of Crowds much more strongly.
Cheers.
