Skin in the game : hidden asymmetries in daily life / Nassim Nicholas Taleb. by Taleb, Nassim Nicholas, 1960- author. New York : Random House, [2018] Subjects Risk -- Sociological aspects.   Risk-taking (Psychology) -- Social aspects.   Information asymmetry -- Social aspects.   Uncertainty (Information theory) -- Social aspects.   Complexity (Philosophy) ISBN:  9780425284629 (hardcover) 042528462X (hardcover) Description:  xv, 279 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 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 all aspects of our lives. Nassim Nicholas Taleb pulls on everything from Antaeus the Giant to Hammurabi to Donald Trump to Seneca to the ethics of disagreement to create a tapestry for understanding our world in a brand new way. Among his insights: For social justice, focus on symmetry and risk sharing -- Ethical rules aren't universal -- Minorities, not majorities, run the world -- You can be an intellectual yet still be an idiot -- Beware of complicated solutions (that someone was paid to find) -- True religion is commitment, not just faith.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 302.12 Ta Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.12 Ta Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.12 Ta Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.12 Ta Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.12 Ta Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList
