 scores and business ratings: in today's world\, numbers are in the ascenda
 ncy. Societies dominated by star ratings\, scores\, likes and lists are ra
 pidly emerging\, as data are collected on virtually every aspect of our li
 ves. The Covid-19 pandemic just fueled this trend. Steffen Mau offers a cr
 itical analysis of the growing importance of metrics\, data and indicators
  in describing and managing society. He demonstrates how metrics\, intende
 d to build trust and transparency\, changed our perception of value and st
 atus. Has data become a substitute for trust? Can data even undermine trus
 t? Jakub Samochowiec argues that as a society\, we systematically underest
 imate the trustworthiness of others. We therefore feel the need for contro
 l by quantification. In many cases this might not only be unnecessary but 
 could also undermine our own trustworthiness. Speakers Steffen Mau Germany

 n the fields of comparative welfare research\, social inequality\, and Eur
 opean integration. In his most recent book “The Metric Society: On the Q
 uantification of the Social”\, Mau shows how metrics have become a form 
 of social conditioning and how the rise of quantification has strengthened
  social hierarchies. Jakub Samochowiec Switzerland Jakub Samochowiec is a
