Nassim Taleb über persönliche Risiken in der Politik

„Ralph Nader has a simple rule: people voting for war need to have at least one descendant (child or grandchild) exposed to combat. For the Romans, engineers needed to spend some time under the bridge they built – something that should be required of financial engineers today.“

– Taleb, Nassim, Things That Gain from Disorder, New York 2012.
