    In his latest book Freedomnomics, noted economist John R. Lott takes a hard-hitting look at the effects of the free market economy. Lott's counterargument to the 2005 best-selling book Freakonomics by Steven Leavitt and Stephen Dubner, explains why he believes the U.S. economy embodies the most honest and creative aspect of our society and why countries that have stuck with the free market model have prospered. Based on dozens of economic studies, Lott disputes what passes for economic wisdom in today’s society and offers an alternative look at the “free-for-all” free market.
