Freakonomics

I wrote about The Law of Unintended Consequences in a post last week, and remarked, “I’d think the guys at Freakonomics would appreciate some of the times this becomes obvious.” Well, it’s either coincidence or someone there reading my blog and agreeing this is a law worth considering and observing its occurrence. A couple days back, Freakonomics published an article titled, “Is the Law of Unintended Consequences the Strongest Law Around?” about how the disability act actually resulted in higher unemployment rates for the disabled. As I stated last week, keep looking, examples of this are everywhere.
