The World of Indicators: The Making of Governmental Knowledge through Quantification - Cambridge Studies in Law and Society
Richard Rottenburg

However, we know little about the social processes constituting quantitative knowledge or its effects on public ordering practices. This book shows how technologies of quantification change our modes of knowing in subtle and often unrecognized ways.
