ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis explores the hidden and often overlooked risks in the U.S. government, focusing on the Trump administration's transition and its impact on critical federal agencies. Through a series of detailed examples, the book highlights how the lack of preparation and disregard for expertise in key areas—such as nuclear security, climate change, and data management—poses significant threats to national safety and stability. Lewis emphasizes the importance of government competence, the essential role of civil servants, and the risks that arise when informed leadership is replaced by political interference.
