The Politics of Large Numbers

A History of Statistical Reasoning

Omschrijving

In this sophisticated study of the history of statistics, Desrosieres shows how the evolution of modern statistics has been inextricably bound up with the knowledge and power of governments. He traces the complex reciprocity between modern governments and the mathematical artifacts that dictate the duties of the state and measure its successes.
