Description
This book examines the history of catastrophes and their impact on societies. It explores how modern nations have struggled to effectively respond to crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, despite advances in science. Ferguson argues that failures are not solely due to populist leadership but stem from deeper systemic issues that have emerged over time. By analysing historical events and drawing from fields like economics and network science, the author highlights the lessons we can learn from past disasters to improve our preparedness for future challenges.
