Episode notes

Econ talk with Nicholas nasbim is part of the library's ekon talk series. This week, we're talking about a book called incerto - an investigation of luck, uncertainty and probability. We'll also be looking at some other topics related to economics in our weekly Newsquiz. The show will air on BBC Radio 4 from 9am-11am tomorrow morning.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of Skin in the Game, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the ideas in the book. This is the third episode of EconTalk with Taleb related to the general topic of skin in the game and how it affects decision-making and policy in an uncertain world. This episode focuses on rationality, religion, and the challenge of thinking about probability and risk correctly in a dynamic world.
