Unintended Consequences, Volume 1 (audiobook)

Kudzu was planted to hold the soil together. Cane toads were shipped to Australia to eat beetles. A surgery that won a Nobel Prize was meant to cure despair.

Seventy-three true, carefully reconstructed stories of policies, inventions and plans that achieved the exact opposite of what their designers intended, each traced from the good intention, through the mechanism that turned it inside out, to the lesson that travels. Organised into eight thematic parts. The companion ebook lists every source that was checked.

Volume 1 of a continuing series. Compiled from the Unintended Consequences podcast, part of the Nerra Network. Narrated with a digital voice. Running time 6 hours 40 minutes.
