Catastrophe: Risk and Response
Posner, Richard A. (Senior Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, University of Chicago Law School)
How should we respond to events that, for a variety of psychological and cultural reasons, we find it hard to wrap our minds around? This book argues that realism about science and scientists, innovative applications of cost-benefit analysis, and a pragmatic attitude toward civil liberties are among the keys to coping with catastrophic risks.
