Klappentext zu „Wreckonomics “
In Wreckonomics, Ruben Andersson and David Keen analyze why policies continue to live on when it has become apparent that they do not work. They show how the perverse outcomes we see in the fight against terror, migration, and drugs are part of the proliferation of pseudo-wars that have become a dangerous political habit and an endless source of profit. Covering a range of cases around the world, the authors expose and interrogate the incentive systems that allow destructive and failed policies to remain in effect. They also develop strategies to collectively dismantle the addiction to waging war on everything.
