This book diagnoses current modernity as a "risk society", the main feature of which is that human beings face existential risks, and this risk is created by industrial society. We live in a society rife with organized irresponsibility, and it is particularly troubling that risk creators protect their own interests at the expense of risk bearers. Baker believes that the dominant economic, legal and political systems in Western society are not only involved in risk creation, but also involved in covering up the truth about risks. Beck advocated reflexive modernization, which is characterized by his insight into the dilemma of rationality in modernity and his attempt to treat this dilemma with a rational spirit.
Reader comments
The point of view of this book is very novel, and it gave me a new understanding of modern society. Ulrich Beck's point that we are in a "risk society" is really interesting. He also mentioned that the system of Western society has played a certain role in creating risks and covering up the truth, which reminded me of some real-life issues. In short, this book is both in-depth and enlightening, and is recommended to friends who are interested in social phenomena.
