The book delves into how markets, institutions, and governments often produce results that nobody seems to desire. Drawing inspiration from Stafford Beer, a pioneering economist, Davies discusses the concept of organizations as artificial intelligences that make decisions independently of their members' intentions.

Through a mix of skepticism and thorough analysis, Davies offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of decision-making and the missed opportunities of the past.
