«Antifrágil: Las cosas que se benefician del desorden» is the essay by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (656 pages).
Taleb defines the antifragile as that which not only resists chaos, uncertainty and stress, but benefits from them and grows stronger, like a bone under tension. In line with «El cisne negro», he proposes systems, decisions and structures that need disorder to thrive and do not depend on predictions, in a multidisciplinary essay.
Published in April 2013, it belongs to the Transiciones collection from Ediciones Paidós. Spanish translation by Genís Sánchez Barberán and Albino Santos Mosquera.
Aimed at a general audience interested in popular science, philosophy and the economics of uncertainty.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a Lebanese-American New York University professor, essayist, mathematical statistician, former option trader, risk analyst, and aphorist. His work concerns problems of randomness, probability, complexity, and uncertainty.
