Planet Money · The laws of the office revisited · 11 Mar 2026 podcast

Goodhart's Law.

It essentially states that if a company decides to measure something, the employees are going to find a way to give you good numbers.

You just may not like how they do it.

And I'm Kenny Malone.

And there are dozens of these laws or rules or principles or whatever you want to call them.

So, yeah, this episode originally ran in 2018, and we just love this episode.

It is one of those where once you hear these laws, you're going to see them everywhere.

You cannot help it.

And again, the way to get that is to pre-order the Planet Money book at planetmoneybook.com.

Oh, we were all babies, Sarah.

We had so much energy.

So much energy.

Hello.

Hi, is this Professor Goodhart?

Yep, speaking.

And you are Professor Goodhart of Goodhart's Law.

I am indeed.

Do you proudly wear that moniker?

Slightly mixed feelings.

Mm-hmm.
