About this audiobook
Maverick thinker Nassim Nicholas Taleb had an illustrious career on Wall Street before turning his focus to his black swan theory. Not all swans are white, and not all events-no matter what the experts think-are predictable. Taleb shows that black swans, like 9/11, cannot be foreseen and have an immeasurable impact on the world. "[Taleb] administers a severe thrashing to MBA- and Nobel Prize-credentialed experts who make their living from economic forecasting."-Booklist
Editor's Note
Expect the unexpected…
“Expect the unexpected” is the simple but profound lesson of this book. A “black swan” is Taleb’s term for events that were wholly unpredictable but still happened and drastically altered the course of history. Let Taleb teach you never to mistake the unlikely for impossible again.
