Introducing the first edition of Girls Who Read Econ! ๐Ÿ’š

For our first book rec, weโ€™re taking a look at Freakonomics - a book that asks what happens when we look beyond what people are supposed to do and instead follow the incentives that shape what they actually do.

Our review breaks down why this book is such an interesting introduction to thinking about economics beyond the classroom, and why sometimes the most interesting answers are the ones we least expect.

This is just the beginning of Girls Who Read Econ. Stay tuned for more books, ideas and conversations that show us economics is everywhere.
