Why Does Moneyball Matter?
A Larger Context Basically, the book comes down to one essential point that can be applied to pretty much anything: objective analysis is worth its weight in gold. The entire book is a tale of the objective winning out over the subjective, and from most perspectives, particularly those in which competition is involved, subjective analysis is often inherently flawed. Moneyball is worth reading if you’re a fan of baseball or if you’re involved in any sort of competitive pursuit that requires analysis.
