In the last decade alone, humanity has experienced a series of severe catastrophes, upheavals and cataclysms that defy the most fantastic predictions. Fifty-two-year-old Lebanese, Sorbonne graduate and New York financial guru Nassim Taleb calls such unpredictable events Black Swans. He is convinced: they are what give impetus to history as a whole and to the existence of each individual. And to succeed, one must be prepared for them. Immediately after the release of "The Black Swan" the author brilliantly demonstrated his "non-theory" in practice: against the background of the financial crisis, Taleb's company earned (not lost!) for investors half a billion dollars. But his work is not an economics textbook. It is a reflection of a very outstanding person about life and how to find his place in it. In his later postscript essay "On the Secrets of Sustainability," Taleb gives a witty rebuke to those orthodox economists who have taken his anti-teaching to heart. This collection of aphorisms by Nassim Taleb is a brilliant quintessence of his original ideas. 2nd edition, expanded
