About the Book

Una historia de las catástrofes deslumbrante, original y repleta de ideas para el futuro que pone en perspectiva el ya conocido como annus horribilis.

Los desastres son difíciles de prever, pero en la actualidad deberíamos estar mejor preparados contra las catástrofes que los romanos cuando el Vesubio entró en erupción o que los italianos cuando golpeó la Peste Negra en la Edad Media. Al fin y al cabo, nosotros contamos con la ciencia. Sin embargo, tal y como ha quedado demostrado con la crisis del coronavirus, la respuesta de la mayoría de países desarrollados ante un nuevo patógeno ha sido más bien torpe. ¿Cómo es posible? Niall Ferguson sostiene, entre muchas otras cosas, que estaban en juego patologías previas arraigadas ya visibles en nuestras respuestas a otros desastres del pasado.

Desde diversas disciplinas, incluidas la economía y la ciencia de redes, Desastre ofrece no solo una historia, sino también una teoría general de los desastres, y expone cómo nuestros complejos y atrofiados sistemas de gobernanza son incapaces de afrontar las crisis.

Como muestra Ferguson, los gobiernos deben aprender a ser menos burocráticos y más resilientes si quieren evitar un declive irreversible.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A compelling and original history of catastrophes, full of ideas for the future, that puts into perspective the year already known as annus horribilis.

Disaster is hard to prevent, but nowadays we should be better prepared for catastrophes than the Romans were when the Vesuvius erupted or than the Italians when the black plague hit in the Middle Ages. After all, we have science. However, just as it has been proven with the coronavirus crisis, most developed countries response to a new pathogen is clumsy at best. How is this possible? Niall Ferguson argues, among many other things, that previous pathologies, rooted and visible in our response to past disasters, were at stake. From several fields, including economics and social network science, Doom offers not just history, but a comprehensive theory of disaster, exhibiting how our complex and atrophied governance systems are uncapable of facing crisis. As Ferguson shows, governments should learn to be less bureaucratic and more resilient if they wish to avoid an irreversible decline.
