The book critically examines the adequacy of wealthy nations' responses to natural disasters, highlighting how many major calamities stem from flawed development practices. It argues that such development often exacerbates vulnerabilities, leaving millions of impoverished individuals at risk. Through this lens, the author challenges conventional disaster management approaches and emphasizes the need for a reevaluation of priorities in addressing the root causes of these crises.
