Partly this is because the very success we''ve had making life safer enables us to take more extreme, different risks. As our cities, transport systems, and financial markets become more interconnected and complex, so does the potential for disaster. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow do we stay safe? Should we? What if our attempts are exposing us even more to the very risks we are trying to avoid? What if acceptance of danger ultimately makes us more secure and prosperous? Is there such a thing as foolproof? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this fascinating account of risk-taking and crisis, Greg Ip presents a macro theory of human nature and disaster that explains how we can keep ourselves safe in our increasingly dangerous world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Headline Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890296176791,"sku":"9781472214195","price":2449.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472214195.webp?v=1781179423","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/foolproof-a-financial-times-book-of-the-year-9781472214195","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
