In this book, world-leading social scientists come together to
provide original insights on the capacities and limitations of
insurance in a changing world. Climate change is fundamentally
changing the ways we insure, and the ways we think about insurance.
This book moves beyond traditional economics and financial
understandings of insurance to address the social and geopolitical
dimensions of this powerful and pervasive part of contemporary
life. Insurance shapes material and social realities, and is shaped
by them in turn. The contributing authors of this book show how
insurance constitutes and is constituted through the traditional
elements of earth, water, air, fire, and the novel element of big
data. The applied and theoretical insights presented through this
novel elemental approach reveal that insurance is more dynamic,
multifaceted, and spatially variegated than commonly imagined. This
book is an authoritative source on the capacities and limitations
of insurance. It is a go-to reference for researchers and students
in the social sciences - particularly those with an interest in
economics and finance, and how these intersect with geography,
politics, and society. It is also relevant for those in the
disaster, environmental, health, natural, and social sciences who
are interested in the role of insurance in addressing risk,
resilience, and adaptation. The Open Access version of this book,
