Mathematician, investor, and polymath Nassim Taleb’s books Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan are attracting increasing attention among social scientists. (See previous O&M blog entries here and here.) Indeed, during the opportunity discovery workshop described by Nicolai Rich Makadok plugged The Black Swan so many times I figured he and Taleb must have a kickback arrangement. Anyway, here is an interview with Taleb by Russ Roberts on the EconTalk site for those of you into the podcast thing.

I recently featured Taleb speaking out in frustration against the economic and banking establishment, also joined by his mentor: Benoit Mandelbrot. Their statements about rapid crashes has striking correspondence with Jared Diamond’s observations about societal collapse.
