'Will set your hair on end' Telegraph, Top 50 Books of the Year
'Life is what happens between Michael Lewis books. I forgot to
breathe while reading The Fifth Risk' Michael Hofmann, TLS, Books
of the Year The phenomenal new book from the international
bestselling author of The Big Short 'The election happened ... And
then there was radio silence.' The morning after Trump was elected
president, the people who ran the US Department of Energy - an
agency that deals with some of the most powerful risks facing
humanity - waited to welcome the incoming administration's
transition team. Nobody appeared. Across the US government, the
same thing happened: nothing. People don't notice when stuff goes
right. That is the stuff government does. It manages everything
that underpins our lives from funding free school meals, to
policing rogue nuclear activity, to predicting extreme weather
events. It steps in where private investment fears to tread,
innovates and creates knowledge, assesses extreme long-term risk.
And now, government is under attack. By its own leaders. In The
Fifth Risk, Michael Lewis reveals the combustible cocktail of
wilful ignorance and venality that is fuelling the destruction of a
country's fabric. All of this, Lewis shows, exposes America and the
world to the biggest risk of all. It is what you never learned that
might have saved you.
