About This Book

Explores the necessity of personal risk and symmetry in human affairs to ensure accountability and justice. Taleb argues that systems fail when decision-makers are insulated from the consequences of their actions. The work applies these principles to ethics, finance, politics, and the reliability of knowledge.
