Read this for a book club. The author has clearly done her research and presents a story to zoom in on a few big ways in which inequality is perpetuated and society is controlled and manipulated by unethical and lazy uses of statistics. It's really important shit to know about and try to fix. But honestly, I already knew of most of these things, maybe not so in depth though. I really didn't need a zoomed in view of all the reasons I already know I hate capitalism.
