Annotation: An analysis of the current state of risk research shows that there is no unified understanding of this phenomenon by various sciences. This article emphasizes the practical defenselessness of humanity against man-made threats created by "secondary nature", the brainchild of industrial society. The concept of "risk society" through modernization theory is used to interpret the transition to the risk era as an objective historical pattern and as a consequence of the modernization process.

Keywords: risk, uncertainty, danger, decision making, market economy, technological development, insurance, finance, choice, measure.
