Description
Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk In this unique exploration of the role of risk in our society, Peter Bernstein argues that the notion of bringing risk under control is one of the central ideas that distinguishes modern times from the distant past. Against the Gods chronicles the remarkable intellectual adventure that liberated humanity from oracles and soothsayers by means of the powerful tools of risk management that are available to us today. The book is a fascinating history of risk, revealing how the development of modern risk management has helped us navigate the uncertainties of the world. With his wonderful knowledge of the history and current manifestations of risk, Peter Bernstein brings us a compelling story that will help you understand the uncertainties that every investor must face. A challenging and informative read, Against the Gods is a singular achievement that deserves to be widely read.
