More or Less: Behind the Stats

More or Less: Behind the Stats

More or Less makes sense of the numbers that surround us and that rule our world. With wit, freshness and simplicity Tim Harford shows the genuine significance of statistics, productivity, performance indicators, measurements and quantification of every kind. We all use numbers in so many ways to argue about, understand, help make sense of the world around us. More or Less hopes to make that task easier, more entertaining, more surprising. This half-hour programme is broadcast at 1330 on Friday afternoons and repeated at 2000 on Sundays on Radio 4.
