It’s been a stellar year for lovers of books on business and economics. This week, watch for two more tomes from high-profile writers.
“SuperFreakonomics” is the follow-up to the best-selling “Freakonomics,” a pop economics book from 2005 that explored such varied topics as the economics of drug dealing and how the legalization of abortion affected the violent crime rate.
“Freakonomics” authors Steven Levitt, an economist, and Stephen Dubner, a journalist, also write a blog for The New York Times Web site.
The new book delves into global warming, high-end prostitution and how you sift out terrorists from a group of millions of bank customers.
New York Times business reporter and editor Andrew Ross Sorkin’s 600-page-plus opus on the financial meltdown, “Too Big to Fail,” walks readers through the crisis of a year ago.
