Abstract:
"What we count matters, and in a world where policies and decisions are underpinned by numbers, statistics and data, if you're not counted, you don't count. In this book, Alex Cobham argues that systematic gaps in economic and demographic data not only lead us to understate a wide range of damaging inequalities, but also to actively exacerbate them"--
