Why Safety Can Be Dangerous

Can things designed to eliminate risks end up creating new risks that make us less safe? Greg Ip addresses that question and more in his new book, Foolproof: Why Safety Can Be Dangerous and How Danger Makes Us Safe. He discussed the book as part of the Wilson Center’s Public Engagement in an Age of Complexity project.
