In his new podcast Against the Rules, Moneyball author Michael Lewis is looking at society’s referees, the undeniable difficulty of their role and how they’re looked at by the public. He also tackles what happens if these people were to lose their authority. This includes everyone from basketball referees to grammar police to authenticators.
