Skin in the Game is Nassim Nicholas Taleb's incisive exploration of the hidden asymmetries that shape our world. From Hammurabi to Donald Trump, Taleb dissects the importance of "skin in the game" - the willingness to accept personal risk. He challenges us to rethink long-held beliefs about power, responsibility, and our own fragile existence. Beneath the book's uncompromising logic lies a profound meditation on the human condition and our collective search for meaning.
