Nassim Taleb's Work and Links












I have gathered an extensive library of Podcasts, books, websites, articles and publications where Nassim Taleb has appeared. Since I have yet to see an organized list, I am organizing it myself! I am not linking to everything since a lot is redundant and not useful. Most of the articles about him are superficial and useless, so I am leaving those out.

Books:


The Black Swan (Amazon)
Fooled by Randomness (Amazon)

Taleb's Website:
Fooled by Randomness
