Summary
Ulrich Beck: World Risky Society: In Search of Lost Security
Ulrich Beck's book "World Risky Society" can be seen as a continuation of his Risky Society, published two decades earlier, but also as a separate book that interprets not only special phenomena of riskiness with no less penetration and ingenuity, but also understands global events and processes in an appropriate theoretical key. In the meantime, risk has changed the modern world so much, penetrated to its very "core", that it required the author to radicalize the theoretical setting and enrich the inexhaustible phenomenology of risk.
