About this Event

Skin in the Game explores the concept of having a personal stake in decisions and actions, and how this principle applies to various aspects of life. Taleb argues that systems where decision-makers don't face the consequences of their choices are inherently fragile and prone to failure. He examines this idea across fields such as politics, economics, and ethics, offering insights into risk management and social justice.

The book challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of fairness, responsibility, and expertise in modern society. Naval Ravikant says this is "The best book I've read in 2018, I highly recommend it," praising Taleb's incisive analysis of risk and accountability.
