AudioSpeakers: Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Recorded on 5 December 2012 in Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building.<\/p>\n

Taleb believes that many of the best and most successful systems in the world such as evolution have antifragility at their heart. Conversely, those systems which reject antifragility and suppress volatility such as modern politics and banking become weaker and less able to withstand the inevitable shocks \u2013 the major tragedy of modernity, according to Taleb. But antifragility is not simply an antidote to \u201cblack swan events\u201d.
