In vain does the reader search through Ferguson’s impressive breadth of learning for a compelling structure or argument that might make sense of the information overload. Network theory, the “Cassandra Coefficient”, the psychology of political incompetence, the fractal geometry of disaster and cliodynamics all vie for headspace alongside Voltaire, Thomas Malthus, Amartya Sen, Aeschylus, Richard Feynman, Liu Cixin and an intellectual cast of hundreds. Ferguson is no better at prediction than the scientists he takes to task Instead, like someone who doesn’t want to let a moment’s research go unused, he crams the book with a dizzying array of theories, characters and references that, while sometimes informative and occasionally amusing, combine to a deadening effect. And, indeed, no such clarity of picture emerges from Ferguson’s whistle-stop tour of major lethal events. Few would dispute this near-truism, although a study of these various fields won’t necessarily yield a working model or even rough image of the complex mechanics of catastrophe. ![]() ![]() ![]() The discipline of history is based upon argument.
