Excerpt from Addresses and Papers on Life Insurance and Other Subjects The address on The Inception and Early Problems of Industrial Insurance was contributed to the semi-cen tenary issue of The Insurance Monitor in 1905. The limitations of space precluded adequate consideration of the historical and biographical facts connected with the found ation of The Prudential, emphasis having been placed upon the social and economic conditions giving rise to the success ful development of a new thrift institution in America. For a more extended account, however, the History of The Prudential, published in 1900, may be consulted, but even in that work only scant justice has been done to the founders of the Company, who risked everything in what, at that time, was certainly a precarious venture in a new and untried field of insurance. It is to be hoped that some day a full account will be published, with biographical details of the early stockholders, directors, and executive oflicers, who, in hearty co-operation and with an abiding faith in its future, made of Industrial insurance a practical business success, a beneficent social institution, and of The Prudential one of the foremost life insurance companies in the world.

Both risk and uncertainty are neo-liberal concepts, which can be viewed as complementary techniques for governing diverse aspects of life, rather than natural states of things. This new book examines the way these constructs govern the production of wealth through 'uncertain' speculation and 'calculable' investment formulae. The way in which risk and uncertainty govern the minimisation of harms through insurance and through the uncertain practices of 'reasonable foresight' is discussed, and O Malley looks at the way these same techniques were historically forged out of moral and social beliefs about how to govern properly. In addition, the book analyzes is how, during this process, ideas such as 'contract' and distinctions between insurance and gambling were invented to order to 'properly' govern the risky and uncertain future.
