what I'm reading

I got the book "The black Swan" from my mother recently after a journalist in the Weltwoche has written an article in the WELTWOCHE about the books author Nassim Nicholas Taleb see his site here. 

Basically his theory goes that we are behaving like christmas-goose that get fed during two years. Every day somebody nice comes, gives you good food and shelter. So you make an economic model and say: "hey..in the average every day I get food and feel fine". 

Until.....the 24 of Dezember....

I love the idea. After the recent crash and all the mis-management in the Banking industry his book became quite a bestseller. 

Taleb is Christian Lebanese World citizen and his book is quite entertaining with a mix of history, matematics, statistics real world examples. 

On youtube you have a lot of interviews with him.
