They form the basis of authoritative arguments that serve managers of every stripe. They put the real into numbers and disguise political choices with truths enshrouded in a mathematical aura. This collective anthology brings together contributions from sociologists, journalists, artists, and union and community activists. Its position is based on judo : prolong the movement of the adversary in order to turn his strength against him and send it right back at him. It attempts to turn statistics, the instruments of power of a large number of governments, into critical weapons. Or at least, it explores the possibility. Fighting with figures is taking part in statactivism.
