«Skin in the Game» by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
What it is:
The book investigates how decisions are made in politics and business. It looks into what incentive systems result in the best decisions. The book contains many examples and reflects the author's broad knowledge and wide range of interests.
Why I recommend it:
«The heatwave makes it clear: climate change is a reality. As long as incentive mechanisms reward the wrong targets, decision-makers will continue to reach faulty decisions – and society will remain caught in traditional patterns. The book is thought-provoking and contains a range of examples to sharpen your view.»
