À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Much has been written about the ups and downs of financial markets, from the lure of prosperity to the despair of crises. Yet a more fundamental and pernicious source of uncertainty exists in today's world: the traditional "insurance" risks of earthquakes, storms, terrorist attacks, and other disasters. Insightfully exploring these "acts of God and man," Michael R. Powers guides readers through the current methods available for identifying and measuring such risks, financing their consequences, and forecasting their future behavior within the limits of science. He concludes with an interdisciplinary investigation into the nature of uncertainty, incorporating ideas from physics, philosophy, and game theory to assess science's limitations in predicting the ramifications of risk.

Reviews
In Acts of God and Man, Powers takes an interesting and educational look at risk and insurance. This provocative book provides an idiosyncratic perspective that is compelling and worth reading., It is a pleasure to write a foreword for this book of both scholarship and humor. It factors in the various concepts of risk, but provides both theory and practical guidance on those 'aloof risks' suitable for insurance. Michael R. Powers manages to create a text for students of insurance while raising the deep philosophical problems in the formulation and application of probability theory., Powers entices readers with an entertaining and engaging narrative, and writes with such clarity and skill that readers almost won't notice the strides he makes in complex issues and dense concepts. Particularly given all the turgid materials on risk and insurance, Acts of God and Man is a breath of fresh air and an impressive achievement., An interesting and educational look at risk and insurance, and Powers's provocative findings provide an idiosyncratic, compelling perspective worth reading., Michael Powers has a unique talent for explaining complex matters in a simple way, and his book lays out the fundamental insurance and risks concepts that are essential for success in today's chaotic environment. Even better, "Acts of God and Man, Ruminations on Risk and Insurance" is enjoyable and fun reading--a rare quality in risk and insurance literature., Powers has a unique talent for explaining complex matters in a simple way, and his book lays out the fundamental insurance and risk concepts that are essential for success in today's chaotic environment. Even better, Acts of God and Man is enjoyable and a fun read-rare qualities in risk and insurance literature.
