But when catastrophe strikes, we ought to be better prepared than the Romans were when Vesuvius erupted or medieval Italians when the Black Death struck. We have science on our side, after all. Yet the responses of many developed countries to a new pathogen from China were badly bungled. Why? While populist rulers certainly performed poorly in the face of the pandemic, Niall Ferguson argues that more profound pathologies were at work - pathologies already visible in our responses to earlier disasters. Drawing from multiple disciplines, including economics and network science, Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe offers not just a history but a general theory of disaster. As Ferguson shows, governments must learn to become less bureaucratic and more "antifragile" if we are to avoid the impending doom of irreversible decline. ba0yba0 Desastre , historia y política de las catástrofes 050269372 ba0yba07 Ferguson Niall 1964-.... 070 COVID-19 (Disease) Political aspects lc Disasters lc Disasters Political aspects lc Epidemics Political aspects lc Crisis management lc Political leadership lc 027229742 Catastrophes naturelles 027792102 Aspect politique rameau 02745357X Épidémies 027792102 Aspect politique rameau 031734618 Gestion des crises rameau 24359934X Covid-19 027792102 Aspect politique rameau FR Abes 20230727 AFNOR
