"Freakonomics" is data analysis of social trends from a less common perspective. For instance, the nationwide drop in the crime rate in the 90's that was attributed to a host of law and order solutions, Steve Levitt, an economist, seeks to prove that it was a result of Roe v. Wade. This is just one example of a deeper and perhaps even a wilder analysis done in the film. The overriding theme was that of incentives and the role incentives play in our lives. It was interesting, but nothing mind-blowing.
