Housing market

Anatomy of a lie

 

How different is 28.7% from 6.3%?

How an option that no one has bothered to explain can contribute to the spread of false statements.

How can a lack of critical thinking affect public opinion, as well as the perception of experts, journalists, and political decision-makers.

And how can all this weaken the response to one of this country's biggest problems: the housing crisis.
