A buddy of mine sent me a late Christmas Present. It's a book called "Freakanomics".

It is by far and away the one of THE best books of all time, in regards to our society, money, and how the collective psyche in this country has become what it is.

I can tell you all without a doubt that it changed my perspective on a great many things, and I encourage EVERYONE to read it.

While this author touches, sort of, on the Ageing of America, not mentioned (at least in the synopsis) is immigration, legal or other.

I don't see this changing my perspective.

If it changed your perspective, then please enlighten us.

It goes off on a lot of tangents, but weaves together the psychology of how people perceive and use money, and how people essentially exploit the system to their own gain and advantage. They also treat economics to an examination of behavioral psychology, which really makes for interesting reading.

I'm currently re-reading it. The first chapter sets the stage for a LOT of good material covered later on.

my husband will love it since he's studied and researched money for several years and he's a neuropsychologist.

What the HELL does a "neuropsychologist" perform in REAL life? Or is this a sensitive question?

Neuropsychology is the basic scientific discipline that studies the structure and function of the brain related to specific psychological processes and overt behaviors.
