Dean's World - -: "Regardless, I think more people should be exposed to books like this. Especially young people. Having recently graduated college I have to say that I was extraordinarily disappointed during my four year journey how little independent thought or critical thinking were really part of the curriculum in the two universities I attended. School today still seems to be mostly a matter of accepting Delivered Wisdom From On High rather than what a liberal education is really supposed to be all about: learning to think for yourself, to question authority, and reason things out."

Dean remains critical of his own college education -- but wisely supports Freakenomics
