Abstract:
Through detailed and empirical analysis of the institutions, governing logics, risk-management practices, and crisis communications involved in the 2007-2008 financial crisis, the 2010 BP oil crisis, and the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear crisis, this book demonstrates that contemporary financial and energy complexes pose significant threats to liberal democracy and ecological sustainability.
