Wolfgang Wopperer reviewed Radical Uncertainty by Mervyn King
Well-argued but not particularly deep
3 stars
A typical nonfiction bestseller hopeful: Well-narrated, full of vivid examples, reasonably well structured and argued – but its core arguments could be boiled down to a few pages, and most of its assumptions and evidence would need to be scrutinised in order to reliably assess them.
The authors' central recommendation is:
[T]he mark of the first-rate decision-maker confronted by radical uncertainty is to organise action around a reference narrative while still being open to both the possibility that this narrative is false and that alternative narratives might be relevant.
