Book Summary –

The Fifth Risk is a gripping work of nonfiction in which Michael Lewis investigates the often-overlooked workings of the U.S. federal government and the dangers posed when critical departments are neglected or mismanaged. Focusing on the transitions following the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Lewis examines how the incoming Trump administration failed to engage with key agencies like the Department of Energy, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Commerce. Through interviews with scientists, civil servants, and government officials, Lewis reveals how these agencies manage vital functions—nuclear safety, food security, weather forecasting—and how mismanagement could pose catastrophic risks. The “fifth risk,” according to one interviewee, is project management—the unseen, complex systems that keep a nation running. The book is both a warning and a tribute to the unsung public servants who work behind the scenes to protect and serve the public interest.
