Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Very thought provoking! I really enjoyed reading this book. It is a bit over-the-top iconoclastic, in terms of attacking the "fragilistas" Friedman and Bernanke. Even though many of the criticisms are well-deserved, this is also a little "over the top" on assaulting academia. Many of the health discussion was very interesting and important. The concept of the triad of fragile-robust-anti-fragile is really important. One minor disagreement -- I don't know that the metric system is "fragile" compared to other measurement systems.
Good read, I'll probably want to revisit this in the future.
