The Black Swan (Second Edition): The Impact of the Highly Improbable
By Nassim Nicholas Taleb
A Black Swan is an event, positive or negative, that is deemed improbable yet causes massive consequences. In this groundbreaking and prophetic book, Nassim Taleb shows in a playful way that Black Swan events explain almost everything about our world, and yet we - especially the experts - are blind to them. In this second edition, Taleb has added a new philosophical and empirical essay, “On Robustness and Fragility.”
