Risks are everywhere. They have many sources, including crime, disease, accidents, terror, climate change, finance, and intimacy. Risks arise from our own actions or are imposed on us. In this Very Short Introduction, Fischhoff and Kadwani, drawing on both scientific and humanitarian considerations, show what all risks have in common. Are we worried about losing money, health, reputation, or peace of mind? How much do we care about what is happening now, or what will happen in the future? Are we worried about ourselves or about others? Before deciding on risks, we need to think carefully about what is important to us, drawing on past experience, scientific knowledge, and taking into account the uncertainties associated with the future. The book is intended for all those who face risk, and especially for economists, psychologists, engineers, mathematicians, lawyers, philosophers and politicians.
