Description

Will set your hair on end Telegraph, Top 50 Books of the YearI forgot to breathe while reading The Fifth Risk Michael Hofmann, TLS, Books of the YearThe bestselling, noholdsbarred expos of the people who are wrecking our democracy, by the master storyteller of our times The election happened ... And then there was radio silence.The morning after Trump was elected president, the people who ran the US Department of Energy an agency that deals with some of the most powerful risks facing humanity waited to welcome the incoming administrations transition team. Nobody appeared. Across the US government, the same thing happened nothing.People dont notice when stuff goes right. That is the stuff government does. It manages everything that underpins our lives from funding free school meals, to policing rogue nuclear activity, to predicting extreme weather events. It steps in where private investment fears to tread, innovates and creates knowledge, assesses extreme longterm risk. And now, government is under attack. By its own leaders.In The Fifth Risk, Michael Lewis reveals the combustible cocktail of wilful ignorance and venality that is fuelling the destruction of a countrys fabric. All of this, Lewis shows, exposes America and the world to the biggest risk of all. It is what you never learned that might have saved you.
