Skin in the Game (Nicholas Nassim Taleb) — Non-Fiction Book Club

Non-Fictive Book Club #7
Skin in the Game

In Skin in the Game, Nicholas Nassim Taleb (The Black Swan, Antifragile) discusses hidden asymmetries in daily life, and makes the case for accountability — having to share in the potential downside of our actions.

With examples galore and sources spanning across time and space, Taleb guides us through a range of adjacent topics and ideas — and in the process redefines ratinality, discusses the (non-)universality of ethics, how the majority can submit to the minority, static versus dynamic inequality, situations where expected returns do not make sense, employees versus contractors, and what teachers can teach us.

Let us come together, discuss these myriad ideas and more, and anchor them to personal examples, on August 2nd at Podium Mozaïek!

Sat Aug 2nd, 14.00-16.00
Podium Mozaïek, Bos en Lommerweg 191, 1055 DT Amsterdam
