Jack Kruf* | 2023

This web-book contains a selection of publications and initiatives where public values and risks meet. It is organised as a canon over the period 1962-2023 with perspectives, ideas and images related to public stewardship and public risk governance throughout the years.

This canon actually is not about public risks. It is about public values and the feeling or thinking of loosing them. It is not the ambition to be complete, but it is a personal selection in the first place. It illuminates key points where insights, hindsights and foresights were tested, even sometimes shattered and after reflection were reset. It represents moments of growth and enrichment, which influenced and encouraged me in my personal contribution to good governance throughout the years.

The myriad of wisdoms, hindsights and foresights is impressively and incredibly wide. It is in fact an ocean full of information. I always believed that they should not be floating around, but somehow be interlinked across the boundaries of sciences and craftsmanships and be brought together and compressed into one contract between government, bank, business and NGO’s on one hand and the citizen, society and nature on the other hand: the annual strategy/budget plan. It is the place where the clockwork of our society actually is running.
