New York Times bestselling author of Superforecasting and Future Babble "Genuinely arresting . . . required reading for journalists, politicians, academics, and anyone who listens to them."--Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works We are awash in predictions. In newspapers, blogs, and books; on radio and television. Every day experts tell us how the economy will perform next year, if housing sales will grow or shrink, and who will win the next election.
