| Abstract
|
:
|
Statistics persuade, convince, confirm, but can also mislead, & when decisions about development are being taken, this may lead to disaster. Stephen Morse considers the problems caused by our 'unhealthy obsession with numbers' & suggests ways in which the accuracy of indices & indicators can be improved.
