«Il cigno nero. Come l'improbabile governa la nostra vita» is the essay by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, published by Il Saggiatore in paperback, in Italian.
The book analyzes 'black swans': rare events impossible to predict, though easy to explain in hindsight. Taleb argues that history does not advance gradually but in leaps: events like 9/11, the Wall Street crash or Google's success lie at the origin of almost everything, and he proposes how to profit from the unexpected.
Second volume of the Incerto series. The English original, The Black Swan, was published in 2007 and was a finalist for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year; this Italian edition is from 2014.
For readers of philosophy, economics and psychology interested in chance, risk and decision-making in uncertain environments.
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.
