The Failure of Risk Management provides effective solutions to significant faults in current risk analysis methods. Conventional approaches to managing risk lack accurate quantitative analysis methods, yielding strategies that can actually make things worse.

They escaped with the remnants of their sanity - and, ultimately, this book.

It is commonly believed that the Great Depression that began in 1929 resulted from a confluence of events beyond any one person's or government's control.
