TOP REVIEWS FROM GLOBAL SYSTEMIC RISK
Clear presentation. Comprehensive content. Thank you, Professor Miguel Centeno
Thorough and clear explanations of theoretical concepts, supported by examples
Very good introduction to the subject. The interviews with name recognizable leaders are very compelling.
I learnt a lot about the systems approach and how we can view risks from an additional perspective of tipping point.
