Recommendation
Statistics were once the authority on facts, but society has grown increasingly wary of them, especially of their use in politics. Sociologist and political economist William Davies explains what led to statistics’ fall from grace. He considers statistics in the context of their history and offers an opinion on why big data analysis can’t replace the service statistics provide for democracy.
