Nassim Taleb: Having 'skin in the game'
Best-selling author Nassim Taleb on what is wrong with society today
People in all walks of life work best when they have 'skin in the game', when they have something to lose. That is the premise of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's latest book - called Skin in the Game. In it, the author of the best seller Black Swan, argues that our political leaders no longer have skin in the game when making decisions and so their judgement can't be trusted.
