Черный лебедь

The Black Swan

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

<p><em><strong>The phenomenal international bestseller that shows us how to stop trying to predict everything - and take advantage of uncertainty</strong></em></p> <p>What have the invention of the wheel, Pompeii, the Wall Street Crash, Harry Potter and the internet got in common? Why are all forecasters con-artists? Why should you never run for a train or read a newspaper?</p> <p><strong>This book is all about Black Swans: the random events that underlie our lives, from bestsellers to world disasters. Their impact is huge; they're impossible to predict; yet after they happen we always try to rationalize them.</strong></p> <p><em>'Taleb is a bouncy and even exhilarating guide ... I came to relish what he said, and even develop a sneaking affection for him as a person'</em><strong> Will Self</strong>, Independent on Sunday</p> <p><em>'He leaps like some superhero of the mind'</em> <strong>Boyd Tonkin</strong>, Independent</p>
