Condición: Muy bueno. : En 'Bad Data', Georgina Sturge, estadística de la Biblioteca de la Cámara de los Comunes, revela cómo los gobiernos del pasado y del presente se han visto desviados por cifras plagadas de inconsistencias, conjeturas e incertidumbre. Descubre cómo la idea de un empresario húngaro hizo que medio millón de p…ersonas desaparecieran de las estadísticas de migración del Reino Unido. Averigua por qué es posible que dos políticos discrepen sobre si la pobreza ha aumentado o disminuido, utilizando las mismas cifras oficiales, y que ambos tengan razón al mismo tiempo. Y escucha cómo políticas como los documentos de identidad, los supercasinos y la prevención de la reincidencia de los ex convictos no cumplieron su promesa porque se basaban en datos poco fiables. Con historias que van desde lo preocupante hasta lo empoderador y lo francamente absurdo, 'Bad Data' revela secretos del mundo generalmente cerrado de la formulación de políticas. También sugiere cómo, una vez que entendemos la historia humana detrás de los números, podemos tomar decisiones más informadas sobre a quién confiar y cuándo. EAN: 9780349128610 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Tecnología|Negocios y Economía Título: Bad Data Autor: Georgina Sturge Editorial: Little, Brown Book Group Limited Idioma: en Páginas: 336 Formato: tapa dura.
