Disasters are inherently hard to predict. But when catastrophe strikes, we ought to be better prepared than the Romans were when Vesuvius erupted or medieval Italians when the Black Death struck. We have science on our side, after all. Yet the responses of many developed countries to a new pathogen from China were badly bungled. Why?

While populist rulers certainly performed poorly in the face of the pandemic, Niall Ferguson argues that more profound pathologies were at work - pathologies already visible in our responses to earlier disasters.

Drawing from multiple disciplines, including economics and network science, Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe offers not just a history but a general theory of disaster. As Ferguson shows, governments must learn to become less bureaucratic and more 'antifragile' if we are to avoid the impending doom of irreversible decline.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This is the first book I read by Ferguson. I enjoyed his compilation of disasters and his detailed explanation of their impact in society, politics, economics and culture.

He makes a compilation of the necessary concepts to understand epidemics and pandemics with great detail while being entertaining and addictive.

Amazing review of the 2020 and the rest of story

Ett fel uppstod. Försök igen om några minuter.
I expected focus to be on the global history of catastrophes, from which analytical framework would be distilled. Unfortunately, the book is largely focused on minunitae of recent pandemics, as well as the ongoing one. Uneven, lacks structure and insight.

Grandiose title, fails to deliver
