Product details

What do the invention of the wheel, Pompeii, the Wall Street crash, Harry Potter, and the Internet have in common? Why are all forecasters frauds? And what can the admirers of Catherine the Great tell us about probabilities? This book shows us how we can stop trying to predict everything and instead use uncertainty to our advantage.
