| Owen Bennett-Jones and Nassim Taleb |
Nassim Taleb is a former Wall Street trader who made his fortune in the crash of 1987. Since then he's been an academic, researching the randomness of history, and in particular those inexplicable and unpredictable big events - like wars, tsunamis, terrorist attacks, the rise of the internet - which change our world forever, and which he calls Black Swans.
In a wide-ranging and open discussion with Owen Bennett-Jones, Nassim Taleb discusses his method of investing money for the best financial return, his likes and particular dislikes, including most financial experts whom he calls charlatans, and why he feels he can take more personal risks now that he's finished his life's work, his latest book called Black Swans.
