内容简介

Now in a striking new hardcover edition, Fooled by Randomness is the word-of-mouth sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. Nassim Nicholas Taleb–veteran trader, renowned risk expert, polymathic scholar, erudite raconteur, and New York Times bestselling author of The Black Swan–has written a modern classic that turns on its head what we believe about luck and skill.

This book is about luck–or more precisely, about how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. Set against the backdrop of the most conspicuous forum in which luck is mistaken for skill–the world of trading–Fooled by Randomness provides captivating insight into one of the least understood factors in all our lives. Writing in an entertaining narrative style, the author tackles major intellectual issues related to the underestimation of the influence of happenstance on our lives.

The book is populated with an array of characters, some of whom have grasped, in their own way, the significance of chance: the baseball legend Yogi Berra; the philosopher of knowledge Karl Popper; the ancient world’s wisest man, Solon; the modern financier George Soros; and the Greek voyager Odysseus. We also meet the fictional Nero, who seems to understand the role of randomness in his professional life but falls victim to his own superstitious foolishness.

However, the most recognizable character of all remains unnamed–the lucky fool who happens to be in the right place at the right time–he embodies the “survival of the least fit.” Such individuals attract devoted followers who believe in their guru’s insights and methods. But no one can replicate what is obtained by chance.

Are we capable of distinguishing the fortunate charlatan from the genuine visionary? Must we always try to uncover nonexistent messages in random events? It may be impossible to guard ourselves against the vagaries of the goddess Fortuna, but after reading Fooled by Randomness we can be a little better prepared.

这本书现在我已经买下了，现在我来给它写段评论吧！先从哪里说起呢？还是先从它的品相说起吧！也就是先从它的外表说起吧！这本书的品相还是很好的，绝对的是全品书。也就是说封面很平很新，没有折角，印刷精致美丽大方，当然就很漂亮啦。这本书事实上我还没有认真读，也只是粗略的翻了一下。从目录来看，这本书的选题还是很好的，还是很成功的，换句话说这本书的选题质量不是很坏，不是很失败。一个好的选题就保证了书的大半质量。这本书资料详实，论证扎实，考据精密，且符合学术史的主流趋势，是一本相当不错的书，读来可以让人受教很多。最难能可贵的是，它的选题非常地吸引我，因为我最近确实也在关注类似的选题，希望能在这本书中获得启发，并找到有用的东西。
