Call #: 302.12 T143s Subjects Risk -- Sociological aspects   Risk-taking (Psychology) -- Social aspects.   Information asymmetry.   Uncertainty (Information theory) -- Social aspects.   Complexity (Philosophy) ISBN:  9780425284629 (hc.) Edition:  First edition. Description:  xv, 279 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages [259]-263) and index. Summary:  The phrase "skin in the game" is one we have often heard but have rarely stopped to truly dissect. It is the backbone of risk management, but it's also an astonishingly complex worldview that applies to literally all aspects of our lives. Taleb challenges long-held beliefs about the values of those who spearhead military interventions, make financial investments, and propagate religious faiths. Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a professor at New York University's Tandon School of Engineering.
