Skin in the Game

V svoej novoj, rezko provokacionnoj i odnovremenno predel'no pragmatichnoj knige nepodrazhaemyj Nikolas Nassim Taleb rasskazyvaet, kak vazhno identificirovat' i fil'trovat' chush', otlichat' teoriyu ot praktiki, poverhnostnuyu kompetentnost' ot nastoyashchej. Vy uznaete, chto takoe racional'nost' v slozhnyh sistemah i real'nom mire, simmetriya i asimmetriya i v chem sostoit logika prinyatiya riskov. Napolnyaya novym smyslom privychnye ponyatiya, takie kak &quote;spravedlivoe obshchestvo&quote;, &quote;professional'nyj uspekh&quote;, &quote;lichnaya otvetstvennost'&quote;, i ne boyas' zadet' ehgo priznannyh kumirov, Taleb razvenchivaet licemernye idei i dejstviya apologetov voennogo vmeshatel'stva, investorov rynka cennyh bumag i religioznyh propovednikov. Na primerah Hammurapi i Iisusa Hrista, rimskih i vizantijskih imperatorov, Seneki i Donal'da Trampa Taleb pokazyvaet, chto samoe vazhnoe kachestvo, ob&quote;edinyayushchee proslavlennyh geroev, bezzavetnyh svyatyh i genial'nyh biznesmenov, - ne perenosit' risk na drugih. &quote;YA lyublyu, kogda menya udivlyayut. V sootvetstvii s principom vzaimnoj vygody ya zovu chitatelya v puteshestvie, kotoroe ponravilos' by mne samomu&quote;. (Nassim Nikolas Taleb)
