About the Original Book: In Skin in the Game Nicholas Nassim Taleb tackles issues including risk, inequality, and fairness in society today. He argues that our current system is weighted towards those with no 'skin in the game'--such as hedge fund managers like himself--who are able to reap rewards without risking the same as the rest of us. This he argues, is a flaw in society. His book is dense, complicated, and philosophical, though ultimately relays a message everyone can agree with.
