This book is the first attempt to re-define objective risk. It
addresses the cost of running out of capital as a generalized cost
syndrome and explains how it is possible to describe this cost in such
a way as to give it practical, real-life significance for personal
finances, company finances and the economy as a whole. The discussion
begins by presenting an intuitive and useful definition of risk: the
probability of prospective capital shortfall. From this point it
establishes a risk theory and expands the work of major thinkers such
as Frank Knight and John Maynard Keynes, and adds reserve capital as a
new financial risk management tool, with an economic function that is
different from savings. This book will be of interest to economists,
politicians, and decision makers as well as to the general public.
