"American Math Chuckleheads"
That is the title of a column, and accompanying short video, from Rich Karlgaard, the publisher of Forbes Magazine.
Karlgaard argues not only that American innumeracy is worse than American illiteracy, not only that the innumerates actually worsen the lives of others while illiterates only worsen their own lives, but also that this pervasive and growing innumeracy in America might even have had something to do with the current banking crisis.
A scary thought.
