From how we manage our economies to how much we each save for our pensions, from how Steve Jobs chose to wait for 'the next big thing' to how Barack Obama chose to order a raid on a compound in Abbottabad in 2011: Radical Uncertainty examines how decisions are made. Radical uncertainty was one of the key concepts in The End of Alchemy, but in that book it was only applied to money and banking. Here Mervyn King and John Kay go much further. This ambitious, thought-provoking book extends to every aspect of life, exploring how the unknowability of the future affects everything we do.
