Krátky popis
Over the past century, we have learned a staggering amount about
human nature and how to deal with disaster - yet we keep having car
crashes, floods and financial crises. Why is this so? The answer is
partly that our desire to make life safer inevitably comes into
conflict with the equally irrepressible desire to make things
bigger and more complicated. It is our nature to safeguard our
world - and yet sometimes, more often than we realise, the very
things we create to protect ourselves, end up being the things that
threaten our safety and well-being. Take for example anti-locking
braking systems on cars - designed to stop us skidding, they
actually encourage us to drive faster. Or the 2008 financial crisis
- did the steps taken to make the economy more stable in the
preceding years encourage behaviour that made a new, devastating
crisis inevitable? Experience shows us that we can never build a
completely foolproof system because humans will always find a way
to muck it up. But we can learn from past mistakes and understand
that in order to thrive, we must not take the reckless path or the
path that seems safest, but a measure of something in between. In
engaging stories and practical takeaways Foolproof shows us how to
stop trying to make the world unbreakable, and take advantage of
risk.
