Claim

History is full of examples of managed systems that have come to grief through an inability to understand or respond appropriately to surprises, notably in relation to natural disasters (floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, epidemics). Yet failures of this kind are now more dangerous than ever before, since the margin of acceptable error in managing the Earth and its resources is rapidly disappearing.
