Everybody loves a colorful chart, and this episode shows that if u weave something no matter how non-believable (at the time) into a beautiful chart, many people are inclined to believe it. With the amount of misinformation being shared around nowadays in the form of charts, I think the trend is not weakening anytime soon.

Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford

We tell our children unsettling fairy tales to teach them valuable lessons, but these Cautionary Tales are for the education of the grown ups – and they are all true. Tim Harford (Financial Times, BBC, author of “The Data Detective”) brings you stories of awful human error, tragic catastrophes, and hilarious fiascos. They'll delight you, scare you, but also make you wiser. New episodes every other Friday.
