Evil rock. Disaster policy. Ferguson N.

In his book, the famous historian Nial Ferguson gives an overview of a variety of disasters that happened in the history of mankind: geological, geopolitical, biological, technological. He considers the causes and consequences of specific disasters, including the pandemia Covid-19, as well as in general, how people and societies react to disasters and try to predict them.

based on several scientific disciplines, including Economics, Cliodinomics and the science of networks, Ferguson writes not only history, but also the general theory of disasters, and shows why our more and more bureaucratized and complex control systems are getting worse with them.
