The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The phenomenal international bestseller that shows us how to stop trying to predict everything - and take advantage of uncertainty

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? 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.

Zlatko Vince

Knjiga je i danas obavezna lektiva na filološkim fakultetima jer prvi put sistematski povezuje jezik sa književnošću i društvenim kontekstom. Napisana je jasno, bez ideološke isključivosti, što je bila retkost 1990. godine.
