Description
The ubiquitous language of ratings and scoring has fundamentally changed how we perceive value and status. The rise of quantification has created and reinforced social hierarchies, transforming qualitative differences into quantitative inequalities. Although its original intention may have been to build trust and transparency, Steffen Mau shows how metrics have in fact become a form of social conditioning. This timely analysis of the harmful influence of quantification will interest students and scholars across the social sciences, as well as anyone concerned with the cult of numbers and its impact on our lives and contemporary society. The contents are in Czech.
