The Data Detective Part One

Jill on Money with Jill Schlesinger - December 24, 2022 - 13:53

We often think statistics are the enemy, numbers used to mislead and confuse us. Our guest this weekend, Tim Harford, says that's a mistake. In his latest book, The Data Detective, Harford says we shouldn’t be suspicious of statistics, we need to understand what they mean and how they can improve our lives: they are, at heart, human behavior seen through the prism of numbers and are often “the only way of grasping much of what is going on around us.” Have a money question?
