John Lott on Levitt...

May 19, 2005 08:48 PM

John Lott, whose honesty and scholarship I respect a lot, tells me that Levitt (Freakonomics) is not all that hot. He does like the questions he asks, but has problems with his statistics, plain truthfulness, and non-liberal (in the classic libertarian concept of liberalism. Modern liberals are not liberal, they are authoritarian) point of view.

I take this seriously because no one's research but John's has been subject to so much vitriole and erroneous criticism. Maybe I can convince John to do a review of Levitt's book.
