Description
All systems break down. Some bounce back, others do not. This book explores why this happens and how it affects us. It examines business, economic, geographic and social systems in a clear and engaging narrative. The authors present new ideas, such as the concept of 'flipping', which describes when a system is so severely disrupted that it changes forever. These concepts have significant implications for understanding our world today. The book draws on a range of examples to illustrate its points, from economic events like the US oil price and the Mexican tortilla riots, to the 2008 financial crisis. By exploring these systems and their interactions, RESILIENCE offers valuable insights into how we can better understand and navigate the complexities of our world.
