Almost every avid reader in the world has heard of the famous Freakonomics, the book which did the most unlikely things with avant-garde economics. That book poked around everyday facts and behavior, with the scalpel and microscope of an economist and came up with some very strange, yet entertaining answers to the strangeness of life. Indianomix: Making Sense Of Modern India follows suit and does the same with the crazy, vast, invigorating and infuriating mess that is India.

The crisp, well chopped chapters of this book provide 'economical', and inventively logical answers to questions which people usually never bother to ask. Some of these are the unusual unpredictability of the Indian election polls, the almost bipolar nature of bystanders of streets when action needs to be taken, and the uniquely Indian concept of infinitely extendable deadlines. Indianomix: Making Sense Of Modern India uses behavioural economics to find answers to those strangely Indian qualities, which every Indian is proud of but never thinks to ask about. On a slightly more sombre note, this book also addresses some of the more unpleasant questions such as the status of women in the Indian society and the liberties they enjoy, and it probes into areas many would much rather leave in the dark. - from Amzon
