Research demonstrates that whereas experts define risk in a narrow, technical way the public has a richer, more complex view that incorporates value-laden considerations such as equity, catastrophic potential and controllability. The issue is not whether these are legitimate, rational considerations but how to integrate them into risk analyses and policy decisions.

Mi-Dire is an initiative developed by The Bank of Broad Wealth, a think tank founded upon the concept of Broad Wealth as an aggregate measure across Economic, Social, Political and Environmental capital domains and considered as an essential foundation of equilibrium and wealth creation for society; in earlier phases of modernity, the central social challenge was the production and distribution of wealth - these days, modern society through a reflexive modernity increasingly turns back upon itself, confronting the consequences, side-effects and unintended by-products of its own development.
