Description
The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy by Michael Lewis
A gripping narrative that takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. With willful ignorance playing a significant role in looming disasters, Lewis shines a light on the unsung heroes who keep the machinery running.
From the Commerce Department's struggles to conduct the 2020 Census, to the Energy Department's lack of inspectors to track black market uranium, this book reveals the consequences of a government without knowledge. Michael Lewis finds the public servants whose dedication and proactivity keep the system running, and asks them what keeps them up at night.
