It shows, in unusual depth, how the formula for approval is an unhealthy cocktail of underestimated costs, overestimated revenues, ..." |

The Danish town of Aalborg is to Flyvbjerg what Florence was to Machiavelli: a laboratory for understanding real power and real rationality and what they mean for our more general concerns of social and political organization.
