The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
What if the rarest event could bankrupt empires—and you never saw it coming? Nassim Nicholas Taleb dismantles humanity’s obsession with predictability, revealing how “Black Swans”—unforeseen, earth-shattering events—shape history, fortunes, and failures, from stock market crashes to pandemics. But as we cling to illusions of control, a chilling paradox emerges: The more we plan for certainty, the less prepared we are for chaos. So, do you dare stare into the abyss of the unknown… or will your blind spots devour you whole?
