Skin in the Game

Skin in the Game pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

Nassim Nicholas Taleb spent 21 years as a risk taker (quantitative trader) before becoming a flaneur and researcher in philosophical, mathematical and (mostly) practical problems with probability.

Taleb is the author of a multivolume essay, the Incerto (The Black Swan, Fooled by Randomness, Antifragile, and Skin in the Game) an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision making when we don’t understand the world, expressed in the form of a personal essay with autobiographical sections, stories, parables, and philosophical, historical, and scientic discussions in nonover lapping volumes that can be accessed in any order.

In addition to his trader life, Taleb has also written, as a backup of the Incerto, more than 50 scholarly papers in statistical physics, statistics, philosophy, ethics, economics, international affairs, and quantitative finance, all around the notion of risk and probability.

Taleb is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering (only a quarter time position). His current focus is on the properties of systems that can handle disorder ("antifragile").

Taleb believes that prizes, honorary degrees, awards, and ceremonialism debase knowledge by turning it into a spectator sport.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Black Swan, a bold new work that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility

In his most provocative and practical book yet, one of the foremost thinkers of our time redefines what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others. Citing examples ranging from Hammurabi to Seneca, Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows how the willingness to accept one’s own risks is an essential attribute of heroes, saints, and flourishing people in all walks of life.

As always both accessible and iconoclastic, Taleb challenges long-held beliefs about the values of those who spearhead military interventions, make financial investments, and propagate religious faiths. Among his insights:

• For social justice, focus on symmetry and risk sharing. You cannot make profits and transfer the risks to others, as bankers and large corporations do. You cannot get rich without owning your own risk and paying for your own losses. Forcing skin in the game corrects this asymmetry better than thousands of laws and regulations.

• Ethical rules aren’t universal. You’re part of a group larger than you, but it’s still smaller than humanity in general.

• Minorities, not majorities, run the world. The world is not run by consensus but by stubborn minorities imposing their tastes and ethics on others.

• You can be an intellectual yet still be an idiot. “Educated philistines” have been wrong on everything from Stalinism to Iraq to low-carb diets.

• Beware of complicated solutions (that someone was paid to find). A simple barbell can build muscle better than expensive new machines.

• True religion is commitment, not just faith. How much you believe in something is manifested only by what you’re willing to risk for it.

The phrase “skin in the game” is one we have often heard but rarely stopped to truly dissect. It is the backbone of risk management, but it’s also an astonishingly complex worldview that, as Taleb shows in this book, applies to all aspects of our lives.

讀後感

評分

本书是塔勒布不确定性(Incerto) 五部曲中的第五部,之前介绍了前面的几本:《黑天鹅》、《随机漫步的傻瓜》、《反脆弱》。讲的是如何不被骗,不被收智商税,大原则只有一个:如果有人忽悠你,只需看看他自己有没有担当,还是此事只对他有利。不要听别人是怎么说的,而要看他们...  

評分

要理解这本书,首先得看看书名。这是从维基百科查到的结果,To have "skin in the game" is to have incurred risk (monetary or otherwise) by being involved in achieving a goal. 简单地说,就是共担风险,共享利益。书中用汉穆拉比法典中的一个规定解释了这个概念,汉谟拉...  

評分

整本书最大的矛盾点在于: 作者一方面极力强调“时间是检验真理的唯一标准”,那些经历过几十代人传承下来的迷信行为、宗 教仪式都有其“理性”的一面,只是很难被我们绝大多数寿命有限、对概率的认识有限的凡人所理解。 而另一方面,作者又不断谴责那些未经“风险共担”的专家...

作為nassim的腦殘粉 連夜翻完瞭他的最新作。書裏沒有脫離他的關於黑天鵝 不對稱風險的基本思想 風險承擔和利益迴報要在一個個體 不然它必然是在screw others 書裏還指名道姓的懟瞭n個諾奬得主 也算作者言行閤一的skin in the game瞭

越發裝逼瞭

其實蠻佩服這類作者,怎麼可以把一句話就說清楚的事寫成一本書呢?可能我不是企業管理人員所以無法獲得那些關於細節的有趣體驗。

這本書的副標題其實不太準確,並不是常規意義上的asymmetry, 更多講的是“代價”、principal-agent問題及相關的討論,所以讀的時候完全沒讀到預期的東西...和之前Taleb的書一樣,內容算不上特彆優秀,但依然有不錯的地方,最好的還是能藉著讀書的機會,去自己思考一些問題
