《糟糕的一年经济学》在跨学科和跨文化的框架内探讨了风险和不确定性在人类经济学中的作用。贡献者借鉴了考古学、人类学以及古代和现代历史，在时间和空间上跨越了狩猎、农业和畜牧业，跨越了古代国家、帝国和现代民族国家。然而，目标是一个共同的目标：分析每种情况的变异性结构——特别是在粮食供应方面——并审查各个人类社区提供的反应范围。这些应对措施通常利用各种形式的流动性、经济多样化、储存和交换来部署本地或临时的丰富资源，以应对短缺。不同级别的响应用于不同的风险级别。它们的成功是人类生存的基础，它们的采用对整个文化行为产生重要影响。
Bad Year Economics explores the role of risk and uncertainty in human economics within an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural framework. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, and ancient and modern history, the contributors range widely in time and space across hunting, farming and pastoralism, across ancient states, empires, and modern nation states. The aim, however, is a common one: to analyse in each case the structure of variability - particularly with regard to food supply - and review the range of responses offered by individual human communities. These responses commonly exploit various forms of mobility, economic diversification, storage, and exchange to deploy local or temporary abundance as a defence against shortage. Different levels of response are used at different levels of risk. Their success is fundamental to human survival and their adoption has important ramifications throughout cultural behaviour.
