Antifragile: things we gain from disorder / Nassim Nicholas Taleb. - New York : Random House, 2021. - 519 stron :wykresy, fotografie ; 20 cm.
(Incerto / Nassim Nicholas Taleb ; 4)
In "Black Swan" Taleb outlined a problem; in "Antifragile" he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events.
For what he calls the "antifragile" is one step beyond robust, as it benefits from adversity, uncertainty and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension.
Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, and proposing that things be built in an antifragile manner.
The book covers innovation, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems.
Throughout, the voice and recipes of the ancient wisdom from Phoenician, Roman, Greek, and Medieval sources are heard loud and clear.
