Stress tests highlight a system's weak spots. This second edition
provides a stress testing of the United States by exploring in
detail the background to the disasters of the War on Terror,
Hurricane Katrina, the financial crisis, the Gulf oil spill and the
COVID-19 epidemic. These major stresses-the country's longest war,
its biggest natural disaster, its biggest financial collapse since
the Great Depression, its biggest oil spill and its worst pandemic
since the influenza pandemic of 1918-tell us much about structural
flaws in the United States. This book explores each of these events
in detail to locate the seed of the disasters, and highlights what
we have learned and not learned from these stress tests.
