Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The phenomenal international bestseller that shows us how to stop trying to predict everything - and take advantage of uncertainty What have the invention of the wheel, Pompeii, the Wall Street Crash, Harry Potter and the internet got in common? Why are all forecasters con-artists? Why should you never run for a train or read a newspaper? This book is all about Black Swans: the random events that underlie our lives, from bestsellers to world disasters. Their impact is huge; they're impossible to predict; yet after they happen we always try to rationalize them. 'Taleb is a bouncy and even exhilarating guide . I came to relish what he said, and even develop a sneaking affection for him as a person' Will Self, Independent on Sunday 'He leaps like some superhero of the mind' Boyd Tonkin, Independent. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. The Black Swan. The impact of the highly improbable. A clean and tightly bound book.
Tapa Dura. Condition: Bien. Texto en inglés. Tapa dura con sobrecubierta de editorial ilustrada. Sin subrayados ni anotaciones. Perfecto estado de conservación. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, The Black Swan is a concept that will change the way you look at the world. Black Swans underlie almost everything, from the rise of religions, to events in our own personal lives. A Black Swan is a highly improbable event with three principle characteristics: it is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random and more predictable than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. And why do we always ignore the phenomenon of Black Swans until after they occur? As Nassim Nicholas Taleb reveals, we are hard-wired not to truly estimate risk, too vulnerable to the impulse to simplify, narrate, and categorize and not open enough to rewarding those who can imagine the 'impossible'. In this revelatory book, Taleb explains everything we know about what we don't know, and shows us how to face the world.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: gut. Auflage: 1 (28. Januar 2003). Wer bisher glaubte seinen Erfolg im Beruf und bei der Geldanlage dem eigenen Geschick zu verdanken, wird nach der Lektüre von Narren des Zufalls zumindest ins Grübeln kommen. Denn das Buch zeigt auf, dass der Einfluss von Glück oder Zufall auf unser Leben und unsere Anlageentscheidungen meist unterschätzt wird. Während Glück von erfolgreichen Menschen oft als eigenes Geschick interpretiert wird, halten sie die Rolle des Zufalls für Bestimmung. Dieses Phänomen manifestiert sich für den Autor in der Figur des glücklichen NarrenEin Mensch, der von unverhältnismäßig viel Glück profitieren kann, seinen Erfolg aber nur seinem eigenen Geschick zuschreibt.Besonders im Börsengeschäft tummeln sich unter den selbst ernannten Börsengurus, Anlageberatern und Fondsmanagern viele dieser "glücklichen Narren". Dem Autor, selbst Börsenhändler von Beruf, gelingt es dabei in Narren des Zufalls anschaulich und unterhaltsam zugleich, mit simpler Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung die Erfolge seiner Kollegen als bloße Zufälle zu entlarven. Dass er sich mit dieser Interpretation während seiner Karriere an der Wall Street bei einigen seiner Kollegen nicht gerade beliebt gemacht hat, wird von ihm immer wieder genüsslich mit einem Augenzwinkern dargestellt.Auch die Binsenweisheit "Das Leben ist ungerecht" wird in Narren des Zufalls genauer unter die Lupe genommen. Für den Verfasser ist dabei das Leben auf nicht lineare Weise ungerecht. Denn ein geringer Vorteil kann sich im Leben in einen überproportionalen Nutzen verwandeln oder -- die hinterhältige Variante -- ein nicht existenter Vorteil zu einer Goldgrube werden, bloß weil der Zufall etwas nachhilft. FazitWir können uns sicherlich nicht vor den Launen der Glücksgöttin Fortuna schützen. Nach der Lektüre dieses Buches sind wir aber zumindest etwas besser darauf vorbereitet. --Gerald Eckel." Am 2. Januar erhält ein Mensch einen Brief, in dem prophezeit wird, dass die Kursgewinne auf dem Aktienmarkt nach oben gehen werden. Das bewahrheitet sich. Anfang Februar kommt ein weiterer BriefDer Markt werde in diesem Monat weiter zulegen. Wieder erfüllt sich diese Prognose. Als auch der dritte und vierte Brief von der Weitsicht des Absenders - eines Vermögensverwalters - zeugen, greift der Adressat zu und vertraut diesem sein Geld an. Zwei Monate später ist das Vermögen weg, der Anleger hingegen um eine traurige Erkenntnis reicherDer Zufall spielt an den Finanzmärkten eine größere Rolle als vermutet. Wer das weiß, fährt besser. Taleb sieht den Menschen überall in den Klauen des Zufalls. wer es aufmerksam liest, dürfte in Zukunft nicht mehr so leicht vom Zufall genarrt werden" Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 04.02.2002 -- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 04.02.2002Buch der Woche - "Narren des Zufalls könnte sich zum perfekten Gegenstück entwickeln, zu den Hunderten von Büchern, die dieses Jahr veröffentlicht werden und unschlagbare Strategien für den durchschlagenden Erfolg and den Aktienmärkten dieser Welt versprechen." -- The Times, Januar, 2002Buch des Monats - "Das Buch mag seinen festen Ursprung in der Finanzwelt haben, umfasst und erklärt aber ebenfalls die Auswirkungen des Zufalls in vielen verschiedenen Bereichen wie Philosophie, Literatur und Wissenschaft und erklärt, wie der Zufall zwar nicht besiegt, aber dafür mit einbezogen werden kann." -- Financial World Narren des Zufalls: Die Verborgene Rolle Des Glücks an Den Finanzmärkten Und Im Rest Des Lebens von Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Autor) Geldanlage Anlageentscheidungen Börsengeschäft Börsengurus Anlageberater Fondsmanager glückliche Narren Börsenhändler Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung Zufälle Karriere an der Wall Street Markt Prognose Vermögensverwalter Geld Vermögen Anleger Finanzmarkt Finanzwelt Philosophie Wissenschaft Geldanlage Anlageentscheidungen Börsengeschäft Börsengurus Anlageberater Fondsmanager glückliche Narren Börsenhändler Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung Zufälle Karriere an der Wall Street Markt Prognose Vermögensverwalter Geld Vermögen Anleger Finanzmarkt Finanzwelt Philosophie Wissenschaft ISBN-10 3-527-50036-7 / 3527500367 ISBN-13 978-3-527-50036-9 / 9783527500369 In deutscher Sprache. 200 pages. 22,3 x 14,9 x 2,7 cm.
