This book introduces a more realistic and holistic framework calledKuU--theKnown, theunknown, and theUnknowable--that enables one to conceptualize the different kinds of financial risks and design effective strategies for managing them. Bringing together contributions by leaders in finance and economics, this book pushes toward robustifying policies, portfolios, contracts, and organizations to a wide variety ofKuUrisks. Along the way, the strengths and limitations of \"quantitative\" risk management are revealed.In addition to the editors, the contributors are Ashok Bardhan, Dan Borge, Charles N.
