520 Navigating the Titanic outlines the brief history of
economic growth and the private and public institutions -
markets, corporations, households, and governments - which
underpin that growth. Bryne Purchase examines mega-risks
related to our economy's use of fossil fuels and
specifically looks at resource depletion, energy security,
and climate change - all "mega-risks" because they are
both global in scope and potentially existential in
impact. Focusing on North America, with a particular
emphasis on the United States, Purchase's central argument
is that the institutions which have produced spectacular
economic growth are not capable of acting with prudence to
deal with these mega-risks before they become a real
danger. He identifies certain institutional design flaws
that, while underwriting economic growth, leave society
open to potentially catastrophic failure and reveals how
these design flaws have been compounded by the stresses of
the growing income inequality in society.
