Description
Everything we know about solving the world's problems is wrong.
Out: Plans, experts and above all, leaders. In: Adapting - improvise rather than plan; fail, learn and try again.
In this ground-breaking new book, Adapt by Tim Harford, shows how the world's most complex and important problems - including terrorism, climate change, poverty, innovation and the financial crisis - can only be solved from the bottom up by rapid experimenting and adapting.
From a spaceport in the Mojave Desert to the street battles of Iraq, from a blazing offshore drilling rig to everyday decisions in our business and personal lives, this is a handbook for surviving - and prospering - in our complex and ever-shifting world.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Adapt by Tim Harford has been praised for its insightful and surprising content.
