They explain forecasting concepts including how to evaluate forecasts, how to respond to forecast failures, and the challenges of forecasting accurately in a rapidly changing world.

Concepts are illustrated using real-world examples including financial crises, the uncertainty of brexit, and the federal reserve's record on forecasting.
