doublee1992 's review for:
Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
DID NOT FINISH
So he does warn the reader in the prologue that this book will essentially be an opinion piece since he says something like statistics require logic to support them but not necessarily the inverse and I refrain from using any information in the book that required any research and isn't from the front of my mind.
For those new to this concept of how big of a role randomness plays in everyday life perhaps this book is a good introduction. Otherwise I would not recommend it.
Having recently read Robert Shiller's Irrational Exuberance which is chock-full of charts and graphs to support his claims of essentially market randomness and almost unexplainable behavior economics, I closed out of Fooled by Randomness after the first chapter. If you want to learn and not just be vindicated in your beliefs, I recommend looking elsewhere like Shiller's book.
