Description

First published in 1985, Mary Douglas intended Risk and Acceptability as a review of the existing literature on the state of risk theory.

Unsatisfied with the current studies of risk, which she found to be flawed by individualistic and psychologistic biases, she instead uses the book to argue risk analysis from an anthropological perspective.

Douglas raises questions about rational choice, the provision of public good and the autonomy of the individual.
