Risk Society by Ulrich Beck
Auf dem Weg in eine andere Moderne
Modern industrialization has generated new, often global and incalculable ‘manufactured’ risks—environmental pollution, technological hazards, and financial crises—that shift social conflict from the distribution of wealth to the distribution of danger; institutions and expert authority are destabilized as societies enter a reflexive phase of modernization, forced to confront the unintended consequences of progress, negotiate contested knowledge under uncertainty, and redesign politics and governance to manage risks that cross class, national, and temporal boundaries.
