Description
Tim Harford's latest book, How to Make the World Add Up, is a thought-provoking exploration of the power of numbers and data in shaping our understanding of the world. Drawing on his experience as an economist and presenter of the BBC's radio show 'More or Less', Harford reveals how to evaluate claims with confidence, curiosity and a healthy level of scepticism.
Through engaging storytelling, Harford takes us on a journey into the world of disinformation and obfuscation, bad research and misplaced motivation, to find those priceless jewels of data and analysis that make communicating with numbers so rewarding. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone who cares about understanding the world around them.
With its clear, clever and highly readable writing style, How to Make the World Add Up is a fascinating and enjoyable read that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the importance of data and analysis in our daily lives.
