Reading Freakonomics and think

After reading the novel “Freakonomics”, I find that economy can be applied into lots of areas, including criminal analysis, how to find names for children, how to find teachers who are cheating, and so on. So one new word has come into being, that is “Economic Imperialism”, the founder of this EI is one economist who has won the Nobel prize in 1992, he pointed out that economic analysis can be applied to areas of racialism, criminal fine, wanting a child or not, and so on, therefore expanded the area of economy. As a result, when little Bush competed for the President, he invited one economist to work as a master of criminal professional, this again made the economic imperialism into reality. So now we have one viewpoint which is economy can be applied into every field of society to explain the history, not predict the future, and we should have the head and knowledge of economy to analyze things happened beside us.
