I’m really
enjoying reading Nassim Taleb’s new book Antifragile. It’s really changing how
I view the world. An adapted piece from Antifragile appeared in the Wall Street
Journal, offering five policy rules that can help us establish antifragility as
a principle of our socioeconomic life.

For a United States citizen, the short trip to Havana requires navigating an obstacle
course, owing to the trade and travel embargo that the US maintains against Cuba. It also turns out to be a trip to

From this pursuit came Nobel-winning science, clues to ‘mad cow’ and insights
into Alzheimer’s disease. It also revealed a little bit of cannibal hidden in

Mikä tepsii
kriisiin: Baltian, Irlannin vai Islannin lääke? – Jan
Hurri / TalSa
Baltia taltutti talouskriisin railakkain vyönkiristyksin,
jollaiset näyttävät Irlannissakin vähitellen tepsivän. Kreikka ja muut etelän
kriisimaat nielevät turhaan samaa lääkettä, vaikka potevat eri tauteja. Paha
hoitovirhe olisi mahdollista välttää – tosin kielletyin lääkkein. Oikea resepti
ei löydy Baltiasta tai Irlannista vaan Islannista.
