Exploring the failures of expertise in preventing disasters, the author highlights significant events like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Japanese tsunami, and the New Orleans levee breaches. Randy Martin argues that the systems and knowledge designed to avert such catastrophes were inadequate, revealing the inherent limitations of our understanding in both natural and social contexts. The book critically examines how these failures reflect broader issues in managing risk and knowledge.
