The Cult of Statistical Significance

by Christopher Hayes

A while back I read a pamphlet by Deirdre McCloskey called “The Secret Sins of Economics” and it blew my mind. (You can download it here [PDF]). Her new book is called the Cult of Statistical Significance and it looks like it will continue to develop some of the ideas from the pamphlet. Looking forward to reading it.

Christopher Hayes is the Washington, D.C. Editor of The Nation.
