SuperFreakonomics officially debuts today, already near the top of the Amazon bestseller lists here in the U.S., in Canada, and in the U. K. Among the first reviews are these from Financial Times and the New York Post .
An excerpt of the chapter on altruism is available in the Times today.
You may have caught Levitt and Dubner on Good Morning America this morning talking about the book. If not, keep an ear open for Dubner on the Dr. Oz show this afternoon at 1 p.m. EST, and both of them on WNYC’s Leonard Lopate show tomorrow at noon EST. Tickets are still available for their talk at Symphony Space in New York tomorrow, October 21. For more appearances, click here.

NOW after sixteen years of struggling to get the &*#$@ car seat strapped into the back seat, I find out I may have been wasting my time,
Great job guys, can’t wait to read the new book.
Challenge assumptions, it might piss people off, but it makes us all smarter, and wiser
(plus its fun to watch the status quo squirm)

I will keep an eye out for the new book- sure to gain new insights there.
However, after reading the excerpt from the new book, my reaction is that the inferred causes of the observed altruistic behaviors in the experiments are still much too simplified. While I see grains of truth or partial truths, the real-world decision systems are still much more complex than the models allow for.
Thanks for putting out a second “Freakonomics” book. The first one is a masterpiece. It changed the way I think about the science of economics. I’m looking forward to reading “Superfreakonomics.”
Saw your book in my university bookstore – early last week- in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). Wasn’t suppose to happen so soon is guess…
Will get a though copy once the paperback is available here. Freakonomics rocked
Okay so you’ve now dealt with both abortion and climate change with bold frankness. All that’s left to do is come out in opposition to the American flags for orphaned children of veterans charity.
I got my copy during lunch break today. Hope the next book will be called “Freaky-deaky Economics”!
Just got my copy from the UPS man. I’m hoping I can get it read in the next 24 hours. It’s a good thing it’s only about 250. If it had been much longer, my grades would start to slip.
