SYNOPSIS
From the bestselling author of The Black Swan, a bold book that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility.
Why 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 his inimitable, pugnacious style, 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.
As Taleb says, "The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that's necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster," and "Never trust anyone who doesn't have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them".

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, nascido no Líbano em 1960, dedica a sua vida aos problemas da incerteza, da probabilidade e do conhecimento e tem seguido três carreiras em torno deste tema: a de homem de negócios/trader, a de ensaísta e a de investigador no domínio da filosofia. Embora, de momento, vote a maior parte do seu tempo a este último domínio, num regime de grande isolamento, é Distinguished Professor da cadeira de Engenharia de Risco no Polytechnic Institute de Universidade de Nova Iorque. O seu principal tema de estudo é «a tomada de decisões num sistema opaco», ou seja, um mapa e um protocolo sobre como deveríamos viver num mundo que não compreendemos.
É autor dos best-sellers O Cisne Negro – O Impacte do Altamente Improvável (2007), A Cama de Procusto – Aforismos Filosóficos e Práticos (2010) e Antifrágil – Coisas que beneficiam da desordem (2012), traduzidos em numerosas línguas.
