“To bet your skin” NN Taleb

This is a book about the hidden asymmetries in our lives and their consequences. It introduces us to the principle by which we can understand the serious mysteries of our reality.
Why do extremely intolerant minorities rule the world?
Why does universalism destroy people when it should help?
Why are there more slaves today than in the time of the Roman Empire?
What does cheap signaling and simulated virtue achieve?
What happens to justice when risk can be transferred with impunity?
And why in the media and cultural life appeared the police of thought .
The principle of “putting your skin in the game” is primarily about justice, honor and self-sacrifice. And in its application the effects of deviations that develop with civilization decrease: between action and empty talk, between consequence and intention, practice and theory, honor and reputation, expertise and charlatanry, concrete and abstract, ethical and legal, real and apparent.
