Description: | Select Guide Rating A fascinating account of how promoters of multi-billion dollar megaprojects systematically and self-servingly misinform parliaments, the public and the media in order to get projects approved and built. The authors not only explore problems but also suggest practical solutions drawing on theory and evidence from the hundreds of projects studied. |
