Radical Uncertainty

Much economic advice is bogus quantification, warn two leading experts in this essential book. Invented

numbers offer false security; we need instead robust narratives that yield the confidence to manage uncertainty.

Some uncertainties are resolvable. The insurance industry’s actuarial tables and the gambler’s roulette wheel both

yield to the tools of probability theory. Most situations in life, however, involve a deeper kind of uncertainty, a radical

uncertainty for which historical data provide no useful guidance to future outcomes. Radical uncertainty concerns

events whose determinants are insufficiently understood for probabilities to be known or forecasting possible. Before

President Barack Obama made the fateful decision to send in the Navy Seals, his advisers offered him wildly divergent

estimates of the odds that Osama bin Laden would be in the Abbottabad compound. In 2000, no one—not least

Steve Jobs—knew what a smartphone was; how could anyone have predicted how many would be sold in 2020? And

financial advisers who confidently provide the information required in the standard retirement planning package—

what will interest rates, the cost of living, and your state of health be in 2050?—demonstrate only that their advice

is worthless.

The limits of certainty demonstrate the power of human judgment over artificial intelligence. In most critical

decisions there can be no forecasts or probability distributions on which we might sensibly rely. Instead of inventing

numbers to fill the gaps in our knowledge, we should adopt business, political, and personal strategies that will be

robust to alternative futures and resilient to unpredictable events. Within the security of such a robust and resilient

reference narrative, uncertainty can be embraced, because it is the source of creativity, excitement, and profit.
