What is Risk?
Peter Bernstein was one of the great thinkers about risk; he should be read with Ian Hacking on understanding one of the great intellectual turning points in our history. The move from stories to data and information.
From mumbo jumbo to calculation and responsibility.
Peter Bernstein died on June 5, 2009. From the CFO:
Bernstein is well qualified to tell this complicated, many-stranded story. Dubbed "America's greatest living economic journalist" by the Boston Globe, he has written seven other books on economics and finance. The best known of these are Capital Ideas (1992), on the development and application of modern theories of finance and investing; and Against the Gods (1996), an award-winning history of risk management.
