IEB Report 4/2025: The Management of Natural Disasters

After the devastating Lisbon earthquake and tsunami of 1755— an event that killed tens of thousands and nearly erased the city from the map—Europe’s leading philosophers debated its meaning. Voltaire blamed nature. Rousseau famously replied: “Nature did not construct twenty thousand houses of six to seven stories [near a seismic fault]”.
