SIZING IT UP IN NUMBERS – 199 Facts That Change Your View of the World

  • Surprising connections, quirky numbers, and contradictory insights change your perspective on the world – and provide entertaining facts to share.

A fresh perspective on our society and the world!

Numbers, facts, and statistics are usually boring and sometimes hard to grasp. This is especially true for economic statistics, which often obscure more than they illuminate.

For over 20 years, brand eins has shown with "Welt in Zahlen" that there is a different way: the most beloved section to date presents connections, relationships, and even absurdities that are as much a part of economic life as trust in numbers.

The comparisons, researched and compiled by Anabelle Körbel and Katja Ploch, are often surprising, sometimes astonishing, and occasionally absurd. Größenwahn in Zahlen provides entertaining facts to share but also prompts reflection on the disparities of this world.
