A Better Crystal Ball: The Right Way to Think About the Future by J. Peter Scoblic and Philip E. Tetlock
In “A Better Crystal Ball,” Scoblic and Tetlock make a compelling case that current U.S. policy planning, particularly with respect to national security, is famously ineffective while at the same time being unreasonably expensive – the worst of both worlds. Knowing that what Scoblic and Tetlock were recommending would send up a chorus from forecasters far and wide, we put together this special section to include commentaries from a number of notable experts:
