Meanwhile, the Times speculates about the profitability of the upcoming Freakonomics documentary. Elsewhere, Freakonomics Radio remains a top podcast on iTunes; you can also subscribe via RSS. The current episode, “What Would the World Look Like if Economists Were in Charge?” features interviews with one economist who wishes he could run the world, and a former prime minister who actually got to run his country like one. Lewis Black helped Dubner preview the episode here. SuperFreakonomics has entered its fifth month on the N.Y. Times best-seller list, while Freakonomics is in its seventh month on the paperback list.
