Scared to Death: The Anatomy of a Very Dangerous Phenomenon (Hardcover) by Christopher Booker and Richard North

From salmonella and BSE to asbestos and ‘Asian bird flu’, modern society has regularly in recent years been gripped by a series of headline-making ‘scares’ This book provides the first full-scale analysis of what in the past two decades has become a massive hidden drain on the economies of the western world. Again and again we have seen outbreaks of media hysteria provoked by a ‘scare’ which eventually turns out to have been based on flawed science and bogus statistics. Each scare is promoted at the time by scientists in pursuit of funding, gullible journalists and panicking politicians. This invariably leads to an absurdly disproportionate and costly regulatory response until, by the time the flaws in the ‘science’ have been exposed, the damage is done.
