Also, the podcast available at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001l85 may be of interest. It's a half-hour discussion of 'Metrics' from the BBC Radio 4 programme 'Thinking Allowed', featuring Jerry Muller and other experts.
Best wishes,

Dear colleagues,
If you can never seem to find time to read Jerry Muller’s fabulous “Tyranny of Metrics”, can I recommend this short post which gives a good taster!
