Why Most Things Fail: Evolution, Extinction and Economics
This thought-provoking book explores why many commercial and public policy ventures fail. Paul Ormerod draws on recent advances in biology to shed light on the Iron Law of Failure, revealing surprising consequences for businesses and governments.
Ormerod argues that understanding these failures is crucial for success in a world where only one thing is certain: failure will occur. He offers strategies for corporations, businesses, and governments to adopt in order to prosper.
