The differentiated but complementary relationship between the thumb and the rest is a perfect metaphor for the Pareto Principle. Also known as the 80\/20 Rule, it postulates that for the most part, \"80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Few and The Rest\u003c\/i\u003e charts Vilfredo Pareto's legacy, and delineates why outliers tend to accrue the lion's share of rewards within institutions and across diverse fields, including business, academia, publishing, sports, music, you name it. Data maven Pareto did not conjure this awkward principle out of thin air. The evidence was incontrovertible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThumbs up or thumbs down for Pareto?
