The Economics of a Chicago brothel

The freakonomics blog carries an interview with Karen Abbott, author of the book Sin in the Second City. The book claims to provide a detailed account of a high class brothel run by Everleigh sisters from 1900 to 1911. The interview is a very interesting read and the book also carries good reviews on Amazon. I hope this gives more ideas to Steven Levitt and he provides us with a Freakonomics 2.0 soon.
