Manufactured risk is the notion that uncontrollable risk is now deeply engineered into all the processes that sustain life in advanced society, outstripping our ability to calculate their probability or to insure ourselves against them.
A Manufactured risk is invisible until it becomes a catastrophe and therefore leans heavily on the functioning of expert discourses for their identification, evaluation, and publicity.
A Manufactured risk is a risk that occurs as a result of technological developments that presumably advance society but that have unanticipated consequences.
