In the last decade alone, mankind has experienced a series of severe catastrophes, upheavals and cataclysms that do not fit into the framework of the most fantastic predictions. Nassim Taleb, a 2-year-old Lebanese Sorbonne graduate and New York financial guru, calls these unpredictable events Black Swans. He is convinced that it is they who give impetus to both history as a whole and the existence of each individual person. And to succeed, you have to be ready for them. Immediately after the release of The Black Swan, the author brilliantly demonstrated his "non-theory" in practice: against the backdrop of the financial crisis, Taleb's company earned (not lost!) Half a billion dollars for investors. But his work is not a textbook on economics. These are reflections of a very outstanding person about life and how to find your place in it. In his later essay-postscript, "On the Secrets of Sustainability," Taleb gives a witty rebuff to those orthodox economists who have taken hostility to the anti-teaching he created. The collection of aphorisms by Nassim Taleb included in the book is a brilliant quintessence of his original ideas. XNUMXnd edition, revised
