Upstream: The Quest to Solve Problems Before They Happen

byDan Heath

In Upstream, Dan Heath presents a economic analysis centered on the Quest to Solve Problems Before They Happen. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of business & economics. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
