I didn't know "pure" economics ever got it right. The worshippers of the pure and free market have always struck me as far more pie-in-the-sky idealistic than the hippie moonbats ever were.
I've read both books, Freakonomics and Predictably Irrational, and I don't really see the connection between the two books. One seemed more concerned with describing large-scale societal trends (abortion, crime rate, etc) while the other was more interested in showing that people's behavior doesn't follow logical patterns.
