Charles Perrow wrote "Normal Accidents" in 1984, fully developing his theory with some of the examples I used in my piece. The first person I am aware of to apply the analysis of industrial accidents to finance was James Reason, in his 1997 book "Managing the Risks of Organizational Accidents". I interviewed both men for my article and read their books in great detail - hence my acknowledging their work. I didn't interview Rick Bookstaber and the ideas in my article are from Perrow and Reason, not Bookstaber.Tim Harfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851232727554334968noreply@blogger.com
