Bagel Articles

Both are about the same man (although one article does not mention that he sells donuts as well as bagels) and both are written by the same author. But the similarities mostly stop there.  In the excerpt from "Freakonimics" the focus seems to be much more story based tracking the mans career from being laid off to owning a new bagel business.  In that article the focus seems to be much more on the social experiment of owning a business that is run off the honor system at a place of work with presumably all middle to upper middle class employees. The second article "Economist Sell Bagels"  the focus is much more data based and is of the theme of the economic aspect of owning such a business rather than the social aspect.  The second article also has a much more focused intro and conclusion.  While the other mostly just follows along chronologically.  The two both have mention of each other the Freakonomics article talks about data and the Bagel article discusses the social aspect as well, but there is a clear difference from their format all the way through that the information being conveyed is very different for both pieces.
