In this groundbreaking book, Tim Harford, the Undercover Economist, shows us
a new and inspiring approach to solving the most pressing problems in our lives.
When faced with complex situations, we have all become accustomed to looking
to our leaders to set out a plan of action and blaze a path to success. Harford
argues that today.s challenges simply cannot be tackled with ready-made solutions
and expert opinion; the world has become far too unpredictable and profoundly
complex. Instead, we must adapt.

Deftly weaving together psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, physics,
and economics, along with the compelling story of hard-won lessons learned in
the field, Harford makes a passionate case for the importance of adaptive trial
and error in tackling issues such as climate change, poverty, and financial
crises.as well as in fostering innovation and creativity in our business and
personal lives.

Taking us from corporate boardrooms to the deserts of Iraq, Adapt clearly explains
the necessary ingredients for turning failure into success. It is a breakthrough
handbook for surviving.and prospering. in our complex and ever-shifting world.
