Malkiel chapters.indigo Review Is our age more conservative than those preceding it? Are we trying to control risk even as we hurtle forward at ever-increasing rates of progress? Peter Bernstein believes we are. In fact, he argues that it's one of the central traits distinguishing our era from the distant past. A chronicle of humanity's centuries-long intellectual adventure as seen through the filter of powerful modern risk-management tools, Against the Gods helps us understand where we've been and where we're going. From the Publisher Risk is one of the fundamental features of human existence, as all decision makers employ it in one form or another. The revolutionary idea that defines the boundary between modern times and the rest of history is the notion that the future is more than just the whim of the gods—that men and women are not simply passive before nature. Now in paperback, Peter Bernstein’s bestselling Against the Gods provides a non-technical, accessible treatment of risk while drawing upon history and biography to trace the development of its concepts.
