 How to Make the World Add Up: Ten Rules for Thinking Differently About Numbers by Tim Harford (Book in very good condition)

In How to Make the World Add Up, Tim Harford draws on his experience as both an economist and presenter of the BBCs radio show More or Less. He takes us deep 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 worthwhile. Harfords characters range from the art forger who conned the Nazis to the stripper who fell in love with the most powerful congressman in Washington, to famous data detectives such as John Maynard Keynes, Daniel Kahneman and Florence Nightingale. He reveals how we can evaluate the claims that surround us with confidence, curiosity and a healthy level of scepticism.
