Emery Roe Livres

Focusing on the inevitability of policy messes, Emery Roe argues for a management approach rather than a cleanup strategy. He draws parallels between policymakers and control operators of critical infrastructures like water and electricity systems, showcasing how the latter prevent major failures. By adopting the skills and methods used in these fields, professionals can effectively navigate and manage complex challenges in their own sectors, transforming chaos into manageable situations.

Exploring the intricate nature of complex systems, this book delves into how interconnectedness and interdependencies shape our understanding of various phenomena. It challenges traditional reductionist approaches, advocating for a holistic perspective in fields such as science, economics, and social sciences. By analyzing real-world examples, the author illustrates the importance of recognizing complexity in decision-making and problem-solving, ultimately encouraging readers to embrace a more nuanced view of the world around them.
