Description

Radical Uncertainty: Decision-Making for an Unknowable Future by Mervyn King and John Kay is a thought-provoking analysis of how we cope with uncertainty in our lives. Drawing on biography, history, mathematics, economics, and philosophy, the authors explore the most successful and short-sighted methods of dealing with radical uncertainty. Throughout history, humans have developed various ways to adapt to an environment they only imperfectly understand. However, the prevalent method of our age falls short, leading to many of the problems we experience today. This book offers a tightly argued and provocative exploration of the limits of numbers and the importance of human instinct and wisdom in making decisions. Written with wit and flair, Radical Uncertainty is an insightful look at how we can improve our decision-making in the face of uncertainty, providing a fresh perspective on how to navigate the complexities of an unknowable future.
