In a post-Trumpian world where COVID rates soar and Americans wage nearācivil war about election results, Deborah Stoneās Counting promises to transform how we think about numbers. Contrary to what you learned in kindergarten, counting is more art than arithmetic. In fact, numbers are just as much creatures of the human imagination as poetry and painting; the simplest tally starts with judgments about what counts. In a nation whose Constitution originally counted a slave as three-fifths of a person and where algorithms disproportionately consign Black Americans to prison, it is now more important than ever to understand how numbers can be both weapons of the powerful and tools of resistance. With her āsignature brillianceā (Robert Kuttner), eminent political scientist Deborah Stone delivers a āmild-alteringā work (Jacob Hacker) that shows āhow being in thrall to numbers is misguided and dangerousā (New York Times Book Review).
