Why do companies go bust? How is it that we have more slaves today than in  Roman times? Why does imposing democracy on other countries never work? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe  answer: too many people running the world don't have skin in the game.  In this provocative book, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows that skin in the  game applies to all aspects of our lives. It's about having something to  lose and taking a risk. Citizens, lab experimenters, artisans,  political activists and hedge fund traders all have skin in the game.  Policy wonks, corporate executives, theoreticians, bankers and most  journalists don't.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his inimitable, pugnacious style, Taleb  creates a jaw-dropping framework  for understanding this idea. \u003ci\u003eSkin in the Game\u003c\/i\u003e challenges our long-held beliefs about  risk, reward, politics, religion and finance - and makes us rethink  everything we thought we knew.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48181142159518,"sku":"UBD-9780141982656","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780141982656.jpg?v=1787398866","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780141982656","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
