marvinscherer 's review for:
The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I liked the book. Nassim points out some very real problems in the field of finance, but he also ignores a lot of literature done exactly on the problem he is trying to pinpoint, i.e. tail events. Still, I think that his mental model that differentiates randomness between mediocristan and extremistan is super useful, and something that should be talked about more in statistics and econometrics classes.
