Say what you will about the motives and methodology of the Freaks, but these guys got me interested in economics. Since then, I've consumed STACKS of (usually less sexy) books on the subject.... not to mention blogs like this.
I feel like I owe them a great debt for opening my lazy eyes to a topic that touches every one and every thing.
I'm not saying they (or the others) have made me an expert, but I'm certainly more thoughtful.
