Description
The Butterfly Defect addresses the widening gap between the new systemic risks generated by globalisation and their effective management. It shows how the dynamics of turbo-charged globalisation have the potential and power to destabilise our societies.
Drawing on the latest insights from a wide variety of disciplines, Ian Goldin and Mike Mariathasan provide practical guidance for how governments, businesses, and individuals can better manage globalisation and risk. Goldin and Mariathasan demonstrate that systemic risk issues are now endemic everywhere—in supply chains, pandemics, infrastructure, ecology, climate change, economics, and politics.
Unless we address these concerns, they will lead to greater protectionism, xenophobia, nationalism, and, inevitably, deglobalisation, rising inequality, conflict, and slower growth. The Butterfly Defect shows that mitigating uncertainty and risk in an interconnected world is an essential task for our future.

Finalist for the 2015 Estoril Global Issues Distinguished Book Prize, the book is praised for its clear, jargon-free prose and cohesive arguments. Professor Robert J. Shiller highlighted its important insight that global systems behave like an interconnected meteorological system, making crises unpredictable. The Financial Times calls it "important and thought-provoking," while Library Journal notes its wide relevance across sectors. Reviewers commend the well-structured chapters and practical examples illuminating systemic risk and globalisation's challenges.
