Written with considerable charm by the distinguished economist and scholar Amar Bhid\u00e9\u2014my Harvard Business School classmate and now a professor at Columbia\u2019s Mailman School of Public Health\u2014the book makes a compelling case that hard facts alone cannot prove or predict whether a new political movement, business idea, technology or TV series will succeed. The author offers a fascinating array of stories, examples and ideas of great thinkers\u2014some well-known, like John Maynard Keynes, others more obscure, like the economist Frank H. Knight\u2014rather than relying solely on math or statistics. This book provides a new way of looking not only at risk but, more importantly, at uncertainty in an unpredictable world.<br \/><br \/>Ms. Chao is a former U.S. secretary of labor and secretary of transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/arts-culture\/books\/who-read-what-in-2024-political-voices-018a02e2?st=199pSH&amp;reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink\">https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/arts-culture\/books\/who-read-what-in-2024-political-voices-018a02e2?st=199pSH&amp;reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cUncertainty and Enterprise: Venturing Beyond the Known\u201d is a must-read for anyone seeking a roadmap to the bewildering array of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[39,33,35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-knightian-uncertainty-book","category-opeds-and-media","category-ruminations"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhide.net\/wordpress_files\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhide.net\/wordpress_files\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhide.net\/wordpress_files\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhide.net\/wordpress_files\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhide.net\/wordpress_files\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3224"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bhide.net\/wordpress_files\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3225,"href":"https:\/\/bhide.net\/wordpress_files\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3224\/revisions\/3225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhide.net\/wordpress_files\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhide.net\/wordpress_files\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhide.net\/wordpress_files\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
