It was between the people who were in it for the mission, and the people who were in it for the money.”“fifth risk: the risk a society runs when it falls into the habit of responding to long-term risks with short-term solutions.”
However, Lewis wisely allowed the evidence to dictate the narrative, resulting in a book-length indictment of Trump’s disastrous administration. Lewis didn’t write of the gutting of the Obama-era multi-agency pandemic response team in The Fifth Risk, but the administration’s response to the pandemic is exactly what he foresaw when he described the Trump transition team’s venal obliviousness to the responsibilities of governing: “A bad transition took this entire portfolio of catastrophic risks—the biJournalist Michael Lewis published The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy, detailing the Trump administration’s dismantling of federal agencies.

Title notwithstanding, this latest from the National Book Award–winning author is no guidebook to getting woke.In fact, the word “woke” appears nowhere within its pages. ""What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?
It also is one of the few defenses of our ricketty but all-important electrical grid. The point of the game is to safely remove lower bricks and stack them on top without toppling the entire structure. Lewis outlines, in his typically snappy/funny/ironic/incisive style, just how devastating the consequences of government inattention and ineptitude can be.

No Comments Yet Lewis ( The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed Our Minds, 2016, etc.) These are the questions Michael Lewis comes to grip with in his powerful little book, The Fifth Risk.

Welcome back. For now, Lewis makes it abundantly clear that the Government roles that Trump has shown zero interest in filling (forgetting all his friends, family and numerous goonish hangers-on who have been given roles they've no intention of even vaguely assuming) are all incredibly important - there are no positions that the likes of Chris Grayling or Dominic Raab could ever fill without being rumbled in days; that the effect of their being lapsed, ignored or unfulfilled may take decades to measure; that the damage this abysmal set of Mafioso pimps and bandits is doing may be impossible to either quantify or repair; that so many unsung heroes for so long did so much valuable and selfless unseen work, and their basic goodness was utterly crucial to the running of the United States, and the survival of its poorest; that the fallout from the nuclear-weapons machine is an ongoing, costly and extremely precarious process; and that Trump's legacy will be one far more devastating than most people - but not the deeply worried protagonists of this great-but-terrifying book - imagined.

The leading charge of the indictment is what Lewis terms “willful ignorance.” Neither Trump nor his appointees to head government agencies have demonstrated even the slightest curiosity about how those agencies actually function. It wasn’t between Democrats and Republicans. by "Didja know the US gov’mint is a complicated beast? Other parts belie the author's bias, therefore, makes me question how much of this book can be trusted.
