Why Governments Get it Wrong examines why governments so often make bad decisions when trying to solve the problems that we face; from the UK school exam fiasco during the pandemic, to the disastrous second US-led invasion of Iraq, and Canada's support for asbestos mining when it was known to be highly toxic. However, by exploring government failures, Grube also shows us that there is a way for those governing to get it right and improve all our lives in the process.
David Runciman is professor of politics at Cambridge University and the author of several books, including The Politics of Good Intentions (2006), Political Hypocrisy (2008) and The Confidence Trap (2013).
