Scientists have long been searching for a unified field theory-one answer to all of the questions about the physical universe. In Just Add Water: Solving the World's Problems Using Its Most Precious Resource, I take a similar approach to social policy questions. What if we could find a unified social policy theory-the answer to every question, from how to prevent war to how to promote gender equality? Nearly all of our most serious global challenges are complex, multifaceted "wicked problems." But perhaps the first step in solving wicked problems as seemingly distinct as racism and disease epidemics is the same: reform our laws, policies, and priorities to achieve global water security.
