Evil Fate: The Politics of Disaster
19.99 €
In his new book, renowned historian Niall Ferguson surveys a wide range of disasters throughout human history: geological, geopolitical, biological, and technological. He examines the causes and consequences of specific disasters, including the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as how people and societies respond to and attempt to predict them more broadly. Drawing on several scientific disciplines, including economics, cliodynamics, and network science, Ferguson writes not only a history but also a general theory of disasters, demonstrating why our increasingly bureaucratic and complex governance systems are increasingly failing to cope with them.
