Why read it?
2 authors picked How to Make the World Add Up as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m an avid fan of `More or Less,’ so this book was at the top of my list of must-reads, and I was not disappointed.
Common sense thinking seeps in by way of fascinating stories and interesting titbits. Fast-paced, light-hearted, and thought-provoking, Tim Harford does not disappoint with this book.
All politicians should be forced to read this book. Anyone who reads a newspaper should be forced to read this book. My favourite radio programme in the world is Tim Harford’s More or Less. And this book is every bit as good. Harford is clear, incisive, and always interesting. In a world crowded with disinformation and fake news, he shows you how to evaluate the numbers that are thrown at you. To read him is to become a little cleverer. Make this man prime minister someone.
From Rebecca's list on economics for people who are allergic to algebra.
