In Skin in the Game, Nassim Nicholas Taleb argues that those who make decisions should face the consequences. He explores the concept of fairness, accountability, and risk-sharing in finance, politics, and everyday life. Taleb reveals how hidden asymmetries—where some benefit while others bear the costs—lead to systemic failures. This book is a call to align incentives and ensure that decision-makers have "skin in the game." A compelling read for anyone interested in ethics, risk, and creating a more just society.
