520    "Deliberate ignorance has been known as the 'Ostrich 
       Instruction' in law courts since the 1860s. It illustrates
       a recurring pattern in history in which figureheads for 
       major companies, political leaders and industry bigwigs 
       plead ignorance to avoid culpability. So why do so many 
       figures at the top still get away with it when disasters 
       on their watch damage so many people's lives? When the 
       phone hacking scandal rocked the United Kingdom in 2011, 
       Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News International, knew nothing of
       the criminal goings-on. After a fire swept through the 
       Grenfell Tower, it soon came to light that the tragedy was
       a result of the wilful ignorance of experts. Does the idea
       that knowledge is power still apply in today's post-truth 
       world? Encompassing the building of industrial empires in 
       19th century America to the legal defences of today, The 
       Unknowers shows that ignorance has not only long been an 
       inherent part big business, but also that true power lies 
       in the ability to convince others of where the boundary 
       between ignorance and knowledge lies."--|cProvided by
