Publisher Description:
An acclaimed economist's fully revised and expanded guide to how resilient thinking helps us face a world of unknowns
The world is becoming more dangerous and complex. In The Resilient Society, Markus K. Brunnermeier offers a unifying framework for meeting its demands: resilience--not the avoidance of risk, but the capacity to recover from shocks and emerge stronger. Through this single powerful lens, he illuminates challenges as varied as geopolitical rivalries in a world riddled with choke points and interdependencies, the ever-present specter of armed conflict, food insecurity across emerging and developing economies, pandemics, and increasingly severe weather.
This fully revised edition of the award-winning The Resilient Society brings sharp new insight to the defining public-policy questions of our era--geoeconomics, global finance, sovereign debt, inflation, public health, climate change, and inequality. Written for business leaders, policymakers, economists, and engaged citizens alike, it shows how resilience can serve as a compass for the most urgent problems of our time.
