Abstract

388 Book Reviews In Section VII, on measuring employment, Anne ®lm Field of Dreams: `Build the houses and the Green reviews problems with the International people will come'. In the concluding chapter to the book, the editors Labour Organisation (ILO) de®nition of unemploy- state that `Statistics are a social product' (p. 414). By ment and a number of alternatives, demonstrating means of many and varied examples, the chapters that the of®cial ILO measure of unemployment in Statistics in Society overwhelmingly demonstrate most seriously underestimates `true' levels of the truth of this statement. As a guide to the range unemployment in those areas, such as Merseyside, of social statistics currently on offer in the UK, and that are most economically depressed. In the same as a ®rst point of call for quotable quotes regarding section, Jamie Peck offers an entertaining and the problems with using these data, this well- potentially damming indictment on all economic indexed volume will now occupy a prime position forecasts in a chapter subtitled `Forecasting em- on my bookshelf. I will also be referring future ployment is pointless'. Peck maintains that all students to this book, to encourage them to develop economic forecasts are fundamentally based
