Must luik. Üllatusmomentide all

In just the last decade, humanity has experienced a series of severe catastrophes, upheavals, and cataclysms that do not fit within the framework of the most fantastic predictions. Sorbonne graduate and New York financial guru Nassim Taleb calls such unpredictable... events Black Swans. He is convinced that it is these events that give a boost to history as a whole, as well as 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 "anti-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. It is the reflections of an extraordinary person on life and on how to find one's place in it. In the later essay-postscript "On the Secrets of Resilience," Taleb gives a witty rebuttal to those orthodox economists who took his created anti-teaching in arms.
