The Story Behind The Numbers

Is life today better than ever before? Does the data bear that out? This hour, TED speakers explore the stories we tell with numbers — and whether those stories portray the full picture.

Steven Pinker: Can Numbers Show Us That Progress Is Inevitable?
Tyler Cowen: Do The Numbers Give Us The Full Picture?
Hanna Rosin: Data Shows Women Have Progressed. But What's Next?
Michael Green: What Does GDP Not Tell Us?
Paul Gilding: How Do We Continue To Grow If The Earth Has Reached Its Limit?
