This post advises readers who’ve finished Edward Tufte’s work to tackle Jacques Bertin’s principles for quantitative communication. It notes that Bertin’s lessons have guided the reallocation of billions of dollars.
- After finishing Tufte's "Visual Display of Quantitative Information," the recommended next read is Bertin's "Semiology of Graphics."

- The tweet claims billions of dollars in budget/spending decisions have been reallocated based on lessons from Bertin's text.
