Editorial review
Nassim Taleb makes the case that real ethics begin where you have skin in the game — exposure to the consequences of your decisions. He attacks experts, journalists, bankers, and policymakers who recommend risks they will never personally face, and proposes asymmetry of consequence as the keystone of fair social systems.
