Synopsis

"The Web of Causality: Discovering What Really Moves the World" takes the reader on an accessible and powerful journey through the universe of modern causal inference. Combining philosophy, history, data science, and practical applications, Williamson J. H. Brigido reveals how understanding causes—and not just correlations—transforms the way we make decisions, do science, interpret the world, and design public policies or business strategies.

From the ancient wisdom of Aristotle, the Fates, and Siddhartha Gautama, through Hume, Mill, Fisher, Neyman, Rubin, and arriving at the revolution of Judea Pearl, the book presents the foundations that shaped contemporary causality. The work clearly introduces the concepts of DAGs, counterfactuals, interventions, confounding, mediation, instrumental variables, causal discovery, and sensitivity analysis.

With a practical and didactic approach, the author offers real-world examples, guided exercises, and complete Python code using the DoWhy framework, allowing the reader to learn by doing—from the basics to advanced applications in causal machine learning, time series, direct/indirect effects, and counterfactuals.

The result of years of applied research, the book becomes a reference for data scientists, economists, statisticians, public policy professionals, business analysts, and anyone who wants to go beyond predictions: to understand true causal mechanisms.
