Beatrice and Abby speak with Robert Chapman about their new book, Empire of Normality: Neurodiversity and Capitalism, and discuss the close relationship between the fields of statistics and eugenics through five thinkers—Adolphe Quetelet, Francis Galton, Karl Pearson, Ronald Fisher, and Thomas Szasz—whose ideas continue to influence how the state manages neurodiversity and disability.
