Jahrhundert überzeugt. Dann wurde Australien entdeckt. Dort gibt es schwarze Schwäne. In seinem Bestseller zeigt Nassim Taleb: Extrem unwahrscheinliche Ereignisse - Schwarze Schwäne - gibt es viel häufiger, als wir denken. Und wir unterschätzen systematisch ihre gewaltigen Folgen.Der erstaunliche Erfolg von Google ist ein Schwarzer Schwan, die Terrorattacken vom 11. September 2001 und globale Finanzkrisen ebenso, aber auch der Siegeszug des Internets: Wer hätte damit allen Ernstes vorher gerechnet? Das Problem ist: Wir verknüpfen Fakten zu einem stimmigen Bild, nehmen die Vergangenheit als Modell für die Zukunft. So schaffen wir uns eine Welt, in der wir uns zurechtfinden. Aber die Wirklichkeit ist anders: chaotisch, überraschend, unberechenbar. Die Folge: Börsengurus, die mit ihren Prognosen krass danebenliegen, und Risikomanager, die hilflos mit den Achseln zucken, wenn wirklich etwas Unvorhergesehenes passiert. Wer weiss, dass es Schwarze Schwäne gibt, vertraut keinem Experten mehr.
