Averting Catastrophe

In Averting Catastrophe, Cass R. Sunstein tackles the pressing dilemmas faced by governments in an age of climate change, globalization, disease, and technology. He proposes the "maximin rule" as a strategy for decision-making under uncertainty, advocating for actions that mitigate the worst possible outcomes when critical information is lacking. Through this accessible exploration of decision theory, Sunstein presents a compelling framework for how public officials can navigate risk and make informed choices in the face of potential disaster.
