How to Make the World Add Up: Ten rules for thinking differently about numbers by Tim Harford
Has there ever been a more readable, or more entertaining, book about economics that this? The author, better known perhaps for his Radio 4 programme More or Less, takes his crusade against disinformation and obfuscation so much further with amusing analysis of everyday scenarios. He challenges us to evaluate claims by politicians and others such as lobbyists, inviting us to treat them with healthy scepticism, thus helping us to see the world as never before.
(Jeremy Miller - bwl 101 Summer 2021 )
