Markus Krall

When Black Swans multiply (eBook, ePUB)

Why we must reorganize our society

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Risk avoidance currently seems to be the patent remedy for all our problems. Central banks are attempting to defend our banking and economic systems from current threats by throwing vast amounts of money in their way, while politicians demonstrate benevolence in attempts to counter todays social ills - to >sweep them under the carpet< as one might say. A general desire to >keep going as normal< certainly appears prevalent. Without risk, however, there can be no progress, no learning, no insight. Markus Krall, bestselling author and one of the most insightful connoisseurs of the risk landscape, shows how currently unfolding distortions in business and politics, rapid technological development and geostrategic mistakes could lead us to catastrophe. He also shows where and how we can intervene to put our society on a new and better footing.

Rezensionen

»The author daringly and successfully steps from the role of financial system critic into one of futurologist, and delivers an urgent counterstance to those 'brave new world' perspectives which we are offered daily. Krall takes us on an exciting and compelling journey through a world in flux, and delivers fascinating insights into how things could be tomorrow - as well as the risky ways in which we might get there!« Prof. Dr. Max Otte
