KlappentextUna historia de las catástrofes deslumbrante, original y repleta de ideas para el futuro que pone en perspectiva el ya conocido como annus horribilis.
>Desde diversas disciplinas, incluidas la economía y la ciencia de redes, Desastre ofrece no solo una historia, sino también una teoría general de los desastres, y expone cómo nuestros complejos y atrofiados sistemas de gobernanza son incapaces de afrontar las crisis.
Como muestra Ferguson, los gobiernos deben aprender a ser menos burocráticos y más resilientes si quieren evitar un declive irreversible.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A compelling and original history of catastrophes, full of ideas for the future, that puts into perspective the year already known as annus horribilis.
Disaster is hard to prevent, but nowadays we should be better prepared for catastrophes than the Romans were when the Vesuvius erupted or than the Italians when the black plague hit in the Middle Ages. After all, we have science. However, just as it has been proven with the coronavirus crisis, most developed countries response to a new pathogen is clumsy at best. How is this possible? Niall Ferguson argues, among many other things, that previous pathologies, rooted and visible in our response to past disasters, were at stake. From several fields, including economics and social network science, Doom offers not just history, but a comprehensive theory of disaster, exhibiting how our complex and atrophied governance systems are uncapable of facing crisis. As Ferguson shows, governments should learn to be less bureaucratic and more resilient if they wish to avoid an irreversible decline.
