Peter Bernstein argues that the notion of bringing risk under control is one of the central ideas that distinguishes modern times from the more distant past. When investors buy stocks, surgeons perform operations, entrepreneurs launch new businesses, and politicians run for office, risk is their inescapable partner. Bernstein clarifies the major components of risk, explaining how they can be applied to our professional endeavors.

读后感

英文出版于1996年。中文版是去年出的。这本书一般被归入经济管理、金融类图书中。实际上我认为是统计学、概率论、博弈论三门学科的发展史。讲述了从1200年前开始的统计学、概率论的历史和1928年冯·诺依曼（书中译为冯·纽曼）开创的博弈论的历史。书中的故事大部分还算有趣。
