Nassim Taleb
In "Skin in the Game," Nassim Nicholas Taleb explores the concept of risk, symmetry, and fairness in life, business, and governance, arguing that having "skin in the game" is crucial for fairness, commercial efficiency, and risk management. Taleb delves into the ethics of risk and reward, emphasizing that those who do not take risks should not have a major say in decision-making processes. This principle applies across various domains, from politics to finance to everyday personal choices. The book challenges readers to consider the implications of actions when one is directly affected by the outcome, advocating for accountability and transparency in all aspects of life.
