Milton friedman talks quite a bit about the seatbelt debacle which he was contemporary for. A report-book was written by Ralph Nader called Unsafe at any speed, talking about motor accidents which prompted some outcry and political action that ended with the seatbelt legislation and other safety features. Some time after the book was published, it was shown to have inaccuracies and wrong statistics. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/27/automobiles/50-years-ago-unsafe-at-any-speed-shook-the-auto-world.html?mcubz=1 https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/27/automobiles/50-years-ago-...
