Dall'autore di bestseller The Black Swan, un libro audace che sfida molte delle nostre convinzioni di lunga data su rischio e ricompensa, politica e religione, finanza e responsabilità personale Perché non dovremmo mai ascoltare le persone che spiegano invece di fare? Perché le aziende falliscono? Come mai oggi abbiamo più schiavi che in epoca romana? Perché imporre la democrazia ad altri paesi non funziona mai? La risposta: troppe persone che governano il mondo non hanno interessi in gioco. Nel suo stile inimitabile e combattivo, Nassim Nicholas Taleb dimostra che gli interessi in gioco si applicano a tutti gli aspetti della nostra vita. Si tratta di avere qualcosa da perdere e di correre un rischio. Cittadini, sperimentatori di laboratorio, artigiani, attivisti politici e trader di hedge fund hanno tutti interessi in gioco. I politici, i dirigenti aziendali, i teorici, i banchieri e la maggior parte dei giornalisti non lo fanno. Come dice Taleb, ''La simmetria della pelle in gioco è una semplice regola necessaria per l'equità e la giustizia, e il massimo distruttore di BS'', e ''Non fidarti mai di nessuno che non ha pelle in gioco. Senza di essa, gli sciocchi e i truffatori ne trarranno beneficio, e i loro errori non torneranno mai a perseguitarli''.
Informazioni sull?autore:
Nassim Nicholas Taleb spent twenty-one years as a risk taker before becoming a researcher in philosophical, mathematical, and (mostly) practical problems with probability. Although he spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafes across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor at New York University's Tandon School of Engineering but self-funds his own research.
His books, Antifragile, The Black Swan, The Bed of Procrustes and Fooled by Randomness (part of a multi-volume collection called Incerto, Latin for uncertainty), have been translated into thirty-seven languages. Taleb has authored more than fifty scholarly papers as backup to Incerto, ranging from international affairs and risk management to statistical physics. He refuses all awards and honours as they debase knowledge by turning it into competitive sports.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. \"A great iconoclast. . . Taleb, a Wall Street trader turned essayist, is a thinker touched by genius\" Matthew Syed, author of Black Box ThinkingWhy should we never listen to people who explain rather than do? Why do companies go bust? How is it that we have more slaves today than in Roman times? Why does imposing democracy on other countries never work?The answer- too many people running the world don't have skin in the game. In this provocative book, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows that skin in the game applies to all aspects of our lives. It's about having something to lose and taking a risk. Citizens, lab experimenters, artisans, political activists and hedge fund traders all have skin in the game. Policy wonks, corporate executives, theoreticians, bankers and most journalists don't.In his inimitable, pugnacious style, Taleb creates a jaw-dropping framework for understanding this idea. Skin in the Game challenges our long-held beliefs about risk, reward, politics, religion and finance - and makes us rethink everything we thought we knew.
