Planning the next day, let alone the next few years, seems out of our control now. So how do we cope with this state? What are the pitfalls of living in a perpetual flux? Radical Uncertainty (Hachette, ₹799), a new book by economists John Kay and Mervyn King, promises to give you the tools for Decision-making For An Unknowable Future.
