Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life

"Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb explores the importance of having personal risk in decision-making and the inherent asymmetries in everyday life. Taleb argues that true knowledge and ethical behavior come from having "skin in the game," meaning that one must have a stake in the outcomes of their actions. The book blends philosophy, politics, and economics to demonstrate how accountability and personal investment are crucial for fairness and effective decision-making. This book is ideal for readers interested in ethics, decision-making, and the importance of personal risk in achieving fairness and accountability.
