Skin in the game : hidden asymmetries in daily life / by Taleb, Nassim Nicholas,1960-author.(CARDINAL)352439;

Includes bibliographical references and index.The phrase "skin in the game" is one we have often heard but have rarely stopped to truly dissect. It is the backbone of risk management, but it's also an astonishingly complex worldview that, as Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows in this book, applies to literally all aspects of our lives. In his inimitable style, Taleb pulls on everything from Antaeus the Giant to Hammurabi to Donald Trump to Seneca to the ethics of disagreement to create a jaw-dropping tapestry for understanding our world in a brand new way.Introduction -- A first look at agency -- That greatest asymmetry -- Wolves among dogs -- Being alive means taking certain risks -- Deeper into agency -- Religion, belief, and skin in the game -- Risk and rationality -- Epilogue: What Lindy told me.

Superclass : the global power elite and the world they are making / by Rothkopf, David J.(David Jochanan),1955-(CARDINAL)268296;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-355) and index.Introduction: The power élite on the promenade -- Each one is one in a million : meet the superclass -- Ceteris non paribus : inequality, backlash, and the New Order -- Lessons of history : the rise and fall of élites -- The multinational moment : when finance and business became the center of it all -- Globalists vs. nationalists : political fault line for a new century -- The Age of Asymmetry : decline of the titans and the rise of shadow warriors -- The information superclass : the power of ideas -- How to become a member of the superclass : myth, reality, and the psychopathology of success -- The future of the superclass--and what it may mean for the rest of us.They number six thousand on a planet of six billion. They run our governments, our largest corporations, the powerhouses of international finance, the media, world religions, and, from the shadows, the world's most dangerous criminal and terrorist organizations. They are the global superclass, and they are shaping the history of our time. Today's superclass has achieved unprecedented levels of wealth and power. They have globalized more rapidly than any other group. But do they have more in common with one another than with their own countrymen, as nationalist critics have argued? Has their influence fed the growing economic and social inequity that divides the world? Who sets the rules for a group that operates beyond national laws? Drawn from exclusive interviews and extensive original reporting, this book draws back the curtain on a privileged society that most of us know little about, even though it profoundly affects our lives.--From publisher description.

Wobble / by Armantrout, Rae,1947-author.(CARDINAL)740637;

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Rae Armantrout is at once a most intimate and coolly calculating poet. If anyone could produce a hybrid of Charlie Chaplin's playful ٢Little Tramp٣ and Charlize Theron's fierce ٢Imperator Furiosa,٣ it would be Armantrout. Her language is unexpected yet exact, playing off the collective sense that the shifting ground of daily reality may be a warning of imminent systemic collapse. While there are glimmers here of what remains of ٢the natural world,٣ the poet confesses the human failings, personal and societal, that have led to its devastation. No one's senses are more acutely attuned than Armantrout's, which makes her an exceptional observer and reporter of our faults. She leaves us wondering if the American Dream may be a nightmare from which we can't awaken. Sometimes funny, sometimes alarming, the poems in Wobble play peek-a-boo with doom.
